Re: What's your Hardest Kickin Rifle??

Wow, that musta hurt!
I was curious and did the RECOIL math on two of my rifles--
My 6 pound 458 WMag conversion in a Ruger allweather bolt works out to 118 ftpnds energy at a velocity of 35 ft/sec.Yowsers, that hurts!!
Thus the muzzle break and reduced loads.
The 500 NE Double works out to 87 ftpnds at 22 ft/sec-a pussycat compared to the 458WMag--
