A 100 cal Rampart rifle 1" bore
In reply to:
2. Specifically what rifle have you shot that had the largest recoil?
Thanks,
Clark
There are two ways to answer this question! #1 felt recoil, and #2 actual ft lbs of recoil!
#1 The Felt recoil was a 460 WBY Mag with WBY solid factory ammo, in a Wby rifle!
#2 The actual measured recoil, was a 577NE 3" with a 750 gr solid, fired from a Farquarson single shot!
Neither was pleasent to shoot, and both were more than needed for live animals on this Earth today! The rampart rifle would have been the heaviest recoil, if it had not weighed 60 lbs!
