Hallo,

my heaviest gun-cal. ist the 10,75x68. The rifleweight is 8.16 lbs. without scope. The buillet velocity is 2230ft./sec.
With the limbsaver-recoilpat the recoil is not to bad.
From the recoilvelocity it is compareable with my Weatherby Mk.V in .340 Wby.Mag. with the 200gr. Nosler Ballistic-Tip which runs arround 2980ft./sec. The feeled kick from the 10.75Mauser isn´t so strong like that from the Weatherby in cause of the slower buillet and the lower pressure.
My 9x57Mauser with 6.4lbs weight and a steel-stockpat kicks worser than the bouth upon.
The worsest recoil has my Lee-Enfield No.5Mk.I "Jungle-carbine" in .303British. It´s real no plessure to shoot with it more than five rounds.

regards
Manolito

I know EXACTLY what you mean when it comes to that jungle carbine in .303 British. I have the same gun made in 1914 and it is no fun. About 20 rounds with that little bastard and it feels like someone has been pounding on my shoulder with a hammer. The .375 H&H is a cup of tea compared to that Enfield carbine.
