How much/what size shot are you using? How severe is the recoil?


Love shooting precision and long range. Big bores too!

Recent college grad, started a company called MK Machining where I'm developing a bullpup rifle chassis system.

Wait it actually looks like you are maybe using one of those humongous bullets. Am I correct?

That looks like Ole W.W. The waterfowl widowmaker! (from TK and Mike hunting videos, entertainment for us less refined sportsmen!)

4 ounces #9...jeez. I couldn't really tell from the video whether it was powdered, or just shot with something.

Never had any problem shooting 8 or 4 bore guns. They are heavy enough to absorb the recoil.

Large bore rifles are another thing all together, although not as bad as most people think. Some modern made rifles are made too lite weight and have severe recoil.
