[QUOTE="Fiftydriver, post: 836059, member: 10"] I agree, once you hit 300 grains of bullet weight, you can noticeably feel every additional 25 grains of bullet being added after that. When I was testing some of the old Wildcat bullet prototypes, we got up to a 380 gr 338 bullet. I was able to drive them to 3200 fps in a 32" in barrel length with comfortable pressures. While the recoil from the 300 gr SMK loaded to 3300-3350 fps was warm and fuzzy, the 380s were noticeably heavier in recoil. 21 lbs is plenty of rifle. My standard XHS rifles come in at around 19.5 lbs with NF NXS and a 9-13 swivel base Harris bolted on so similar to your rig. I would agree that shooting at that uphill angle from a flat surface would be far from ideal!!! I hear you about needing more time for projects. Just a short list of projects I need to get finished up this year include: -300 Raptor load development & ballistic testing -338 Raptor load development & ballistic testing -Super Painkiller R&D and testing -458 Allen Magnum load development and ballistic testing -510 Maximus load development and ballistic testing Right now I am in the busy rush time of year for customer so most of my testing is left to the evenings and weekends when possible so not much gets done until after the first of the year. The 458 Allen Magnum might interest you, we got some custom made 575 gr VLD solids made up from Lehigh bullets that should have a BC in .875 to .900 range and in the 458 AM I am predicting a conservative 3400 fps for velocity with 3500 possible in a 32" barrel length. Should be fun!! [/QUOTE]
