OK, OK...!

Here's my opinion on the cartridge.

...again!


In truth, I'm happy to post this as often as NE.com members will tolerate!
My love-affair with the cartridge continues to increase every time I take that Greener double afield.

Marrakai your back!

So I'm throwing in my two cents here on the 577 2 3/4" having finished one and started a second. The light loadings produce around 5200 to 5500 FPE, and is enough for anything that walks on this planet. Recoil in a 10.5 to 12 pound gun would be stout but manageable. The great thing about the caliber/load is the BIG hole it makes. I thought about making a super light < 9 lbs 577 2.75" with the above loads for ease of carrying, but recoil would/could be a real head ringer. At, 13.5 lbs, my 10ga Jana Action 577 2.75" is a pussy cat to shoot with a juiced up load of 750 grn bullet at 1950FPS. This is 95% of 3" load, but has less felt recoil and still produces around 6500FPE.

For North American Game, I believe a nice 577 BPE in any size would be a hoot. Big lead bullet, making a big hole and easy to shoot.

For grins, I'm collecting old bowling balls and pins for a youtube video of 577NE destruction!
