Now that is one BIG sucker!
I knew they were big, but to put it into perspective with a 450-577MH - they're bloody huge!
Would certainly take some Dutch courage to fire 1820gn at say 1400fps of lead with 12 drams of BP 328gn.
Now correct me if I'm wrong here gents, in a 18lb rifle the muzzle energy would be just shy of 8200ftlbs, but this would mean recoil energy would be 308ftlbs using Hatchers formula?
I know the old BP's had terrible recoil - but that much???
Am I calculating this correctly
93x64mm
