One of our mates brought a 'big gun' to the range on Saturday for a bit of fun after the silhouette shoot: a .530 Woodleigh built on a P-14 action. There may only be 4 or 5 of these things in existence, certainly only one in Darwin!

It felt almost heavy enough with its fairly straight synthetic stock and a bunch of mercury recoil-reducers in the butt apparently! Nice clear ghost-ring peep. How hard can this be?

Well I only needed one shot to know that is the hardest kicker I have ever fired! Seems I felt every one of those 9,000 foot-pounds personally!




Mate,

What are the specs for this cartridge?
