JTOM.,
I got the 600 OK, but I sent it back to add some weight. It did weigh 12 lbs, now it weighs 13 1/2 lbs. Since I want to be able to shoot the 900 grain bullets at 2400 ft/sec I wanted a little more weight, so I do not get beat up too much. ED sent me a couple of boxes of "milder" bullets at 2200 ft/sec to try first. The spring is not strong enough to push the bullets up into the chamber without the nose of the bullet jambing on the feed ramp. Ed is making me up a stronger spring to put in it. I should get it by this Sat. or next Monday. I won't be able to shoot it until the following weekend. So, I have not even got to shoot it yet, but we are getting real close. I will let you know how the recoil is. If I can handle the 2200 ft/sec bullets, the other 60 rounds will be loaded at 2400 ft/sec. Right now I am still playing a waiting game! Ed is being very cooperative in fixing the little quirks so all will go well.
