DD: A lot depends on the weight of the finished rifle. Also your choice of 650gr or 750gr bullets. I can confirm that a 650-grainer at 1850fps needs more than 10-lbs of rifle to shoot comfortably! A full-nitro 750-grainer at say 1950 fps probably needs 11 to 12-lbs (or 13..!), and may still be brutal if all the weight is forward of the mid-point. Here's a bit of info from my experiences with a 10 1/4 lb double rifle in my custody: .577x2 3/4 Load Development Terminal ballistics on buff described here. Hope this is of some use in giving you a starting point. There are more loads listed in Graeme Wright's books too of course. |
