![]() Especially when you look at the Weatherby having 6 times the recoil of a 30-06. Not sure this is really that good of a comparison for felt recoil though. The 600 Overkill should be about 2 1/2 times the recoil of the 460 Weatherby. Couldn't find much information on the 505 Barnes, but assuming that load does 2500 ft/s, the recoil would be about 30% more. I'm loading my 460 Weatherby with 124 grains of IMR 4350. of bullet difference as well, to differentiate between the. I think there is probably a difference between 125gr. ![]() 600 Nitro? How many people shoot them without flinching or developing a flinch? 600 will - of that I have no experience and never will for that matter, but at 8 1/2 pounds for a gun that should weigh, perhaps double that, you might be unpleasantly surprised. of bullet difference as well, to differenciate between the. Unless it recoils like "Baby" and spins you arround at the shot and bloods your nose then you aint talking about recoil. Nobody posted anything about getting hurt so I'm guessing it's not to bad. I did a search on this forum, and at least three people here have owned 600 Overkills. I know this will be a considerable increase in recoil, but I'm not really worried about it causing actual injury. Not sure what the actual weight will end up being, but I figure around 8 1/2 pounds. The 600 Overkill launches a 900 grain bullet at around 2300 ft/s. I find my Weatherby is pretty tame launching a 500 grain bullet at 2700 ft/s out of a 9 1/2 pound rifle. I do wonder what the recoil will be like. "a gun without hammers is like a Spaniel without ears" King George V 1/2 hour later, I went back to shooting my. Upon pulling the trigger, I saw lights flashing at the shot - which I'm told is caused by the retina being pulled loose from the eyeball. IMR3031 (apparently) but I didn't check the load data. Oh yeah, in the States, everyone has the same wonderful insurance now or do they? Have fun - make sure your medical insurance covers recoil-induced retina dislocations. I assumed it was for fun, but my 500 Jeffery is all the fun I can stand lol. Any thoughts on the barrel length and stock colors? Would really like to get a double 4 bore eventually. I figure the 600 Overkill in a lightweight rifle should get me the most impressive recoil. The 460 Weatherby is fun, but it doesn't look that impressive. Something that will draw a crowd when I bring it out. It's strictly going to be a range time fun gun. Guess I should have mentioned why I want to build this rifle. This is never about need, it is about enjoying life your way, so if it is a dream of yours, go for it! IMO build a 500 Jeffrey with a 20 inch barrel. Michael Douglas "The Ghost And The Darkness" "There's a saying in prize fighting: Everyone's got a plan until they get hit" Why on earth would you need more than a 505 Gibbs? This is coming from someone who owns a 500 Jeffery. I've had the bolt handle on the Weatherby cut my hand on recoil before. Though now that I think about it a left handed bolt in a right handed stock would probably be a better idea. Just trying to get a general idea of the look. Von Gruff, I flipped the stock in Photoshop to match the action. Left handed stock on right handed action? That deliberate or photoshop mishap. I Photoshopped this picture of a CZ 550 with a McMillan stock and 18 inch barrel to get an idea of what it would look like. I'm thinking of going with a dangerous game rifle theme with a synthetic stock and a fairly short barrel on the order of 18 or 20 inches. Would like everyone's opinion on the rest of the build. The action is already on order from CZ with the 505 Gibbs boltface. Talked it over with my gunsmith and we decided to do a 600 Overkill build on a CZ 550 magnum action. See videos here: YouTube The thing is that now I want to step up to something a lot bigger. I've put over a hundred rounds through it so far and I love it. About four months ago I got my first big bore rifle, a 460 Weatherby Magnum. Started off with 44 Magnums and worked my way up to a 500 S&W. Been shooting big bore handguns for years. Hello everyone, I'm new here so I thought I'd start off with some background info. Shooting & Reloading - Mausers, Big Bores and others I have no plans to put a muzzle break on mine, but I would like to see the difference.Ġ registered and 11 anonymous users are browsing this forum.*** Enjoy ?

I've seen the YouTube of the 600 OK with and without brake and there's no way I would shoot one without one.Ĭould you share these links, I don't think I have seen one without a muzzle break. The only problem is that this rifle will be iron sights only, so a bit harder to cut down once it's built. Personally I would start with a 26 inch bbl.
