If the .450/.400 double rifle was a 10 pound rifle, the recoil energy would have been 270 ft/lbs. If it was an 11 pound rifle, the recoil energy would have been 246 ft/lbs.

Thank you, sir.

I once had occasion to shoot 625 gr solids in a Mauser 98 actioned .50-110 WCF of about 8 lbs. I don’t regret it. Neither do I desire to repeat it.

Funny, that.

Best,
Ted
