[QUOTE="MagnumManiac, post: 2781443, member: 10755"] My 505 Gibbs in a 9lb rifle was my threshold with 600gr Woodleigh PP at 2350 fps…was able to reach 2500 fps with that bullet, but 150+ft/lbs of recoil was a one shot proposition that I did not repeat. I also stupidly fired a shot with the 1lb recoil inertia damper removed…never again! I handle my other big bores without issue and often laugh when asked how bad do I find the 458 Lott, 416 Rigby, 338-416 Rigby Improved, 500 Niro 3 1/4” or 450 Rigby….none are like a 505 Gibbs! Cheers. [/QUOTE]
