You might want to consult a recoil calculator and compare where you are now with vs a full house OK in 6.5 pound rifle. I think you really want more weight on that thing.

My 460 Weatherby is my only comparison point that is at all close. It will be a bit of a jump to the 600 Overkill even at a starting load. I'm not too worried though. It's less of a jump than going from my anemic 338 Win Mag to the Weatherby (30 ft-lbs to 115 ft-lbs).

460 Weatherby
500 grain bullet
2700 fps
9.5 lb rifle
115 ft-lb of recoil energy


600 Overkill
900 grain bullet
2300 fps
8 lb rifle
300 ft-lb of recoil energy

2100 fps
250 ft-lb of recoil energy

1800 fps
200 ft-lb of recoil energy
