I was thinking of building a 450-400 3" on a TCR.
Does anyone see why this would not be a good fit for this action?
What weight barrel should I shoot for?
Do you think the recoil will be to brisk?
I shoot a 11 3/4 lb. 450-400 double and recoil is no problem but want this to be 9 1/2 lbs. and I worry about recoil as I had a box put in my chest this summer and do not want to pull any wires out.
I need a couple of projects this winter and this would be an easy one as I already have the reamer from the double build and an extra 12ga barrel to convert.
Has any one shot the Ruger #1 in 450-400?
How is the recoil(any more than a 3" 12ga load)?

Any opinions.
Thanks Dale
