I was wondering when you were going to find this Wade!

I had the pleasure of shooting Wade's 600NE just last month and it is very tolerable. I agree completely with the notion that fit of the firearm to the person is far more important than the little bit of terminal ballistic difference between the two calibers. With the good fit of the 600 I was able to tolerate recoil which in turn led to surprising accuracy. I would have been happy to just hit the paper but was able to get within a couple of inches of the bullseye at 50 yards - freearm. I was able to watch (on video) the slow-motion bullet impact of the 900 grain Woodleigh into the brisket of a Buffalo and the skin, muscle, bone, and blood reaction is absolutely impressive. I have watched the impacts of 470NE's and 500NE's on buffalo and sometimes wondered if they actually hit the animal because there was no immediate reaction. With the 600NE there is no doubt of a positive hit.

On the other hand, that 600NE is heavy! I'm sure it would take me practice to carry that all day.

Of course, every shooter can be accurate with the right weapon and the 600NE is no different - Wade's 150 yard shot on the impala confirms this.
