Although it is fun shooting and practicing with my 600, having the biggest stick at the range was not ever my thought.
I enjoy the endorfine rush of jarring my brains silly and watching the world around me go spinning round and round for the first 8 or 20 rounds of my typical shooting day.
There are a few inconsistent statements made above that should be cleared up.
First though, it is great to see that the cartridge is coming forth to your shores. Once it becomes available and more people start shooting it and discovering the love of shooting the big bores for fun I am sure there will also be individuals there touting the pure fun of shooting 900 grain bullets in front of 140 grains of powder at a time.
The round was indeed built to emulate the great 600ne but was not based upon the round. The case was an original with the same bolt head as the 505 Gibbs with a belt. 2400 fps is not the top end. Although I added another 20 percent to that, I could not find the top end fearing permanent mental and skeletal infirmity. There are those who might say I managed that long ago with lesser cartridges they also do not shoot. My rifle weighs around 12.5 pounds proving there is no need for the the 25 lb bench gun or larger rail gun when shooting the 600.
As for hunting, although many or the dangerous game have indeed been hunted and killed with smaller calibers of adequate Kill value there also have been dangerous game killed with dangerously inadequate kill value. If someone can handle carrying a 12 or 14 lb rifle around to kill a dangerous or non-dangerous game with a new caliber then onward with the pursuit of new adventures.
I too dislike the Muzzle brake and do not use it however there are many individuals who really appreciated the fact that I have one the second time they shot the rifle which I load at 2100 fps for such occasions.
