buckstix, Good show- I'm glad to see you can still shoot heavy recoiling rifles, standing. If I do that, I can't keep my balance and will fall( I don't have a third hand for the walking stick). I had to give up shooting even the 404 Jeffery because of a plate in my neck and weird things recoil was doing. I found out I can do pretty well sitting, if I make the rest high enough to make me sit straight up, so my body rotates back with the recoil similar to standing. I found out it is faster to recover for the second shot if you don't have get up off the ground first. Mike

I have a boat cushion just like that one I use to shoot across the hood of my car...Geo Hello Geo. Mewbern, Thanks for the reply.

I can still take the recoil, but iseems to get more as I get older. My 700 NE is a 2-step gun. You need to have room to take 2-steps back when absorbing the recoil. My 600 NE is a 1-1/2-step gun. As is also my A-Square 577 T-Rex and Ruger 600 JDJ. I've got a couple of 1-step guns also ... 500 NE & 475s & 470s & 458's, etc. ... anything below that I can keep my feet in place .. ie, 416s & 378s, & 375s.

buckstix, You are still young though, wait until you get to be an "old fart". All kidding aside, if you start feeling tingling in your hands/arms and start dropping things, see a Dr. right away. I waited too long. " If you wait until you need something to buy it, you have to pay too much" Mike

Hello all, I tired another load today. I loaded some 45 cal Hornady 325g Flex Tip Bullets. I got great results. Velocities are near original 1800s velocity. A fun thump-er at 29 ft/lbs recoil. . . . .

buckstix. I still couldn't get the photo to open up, but I could see your great group on the GGCA forum, and I had a question about the foam filler over there. Mike

Hello all, Well, I got around to testing the 16ga barrel with 1oz lead balls today. I found that a "stiff" 3-dram load worked best. Lower velocities didn't do very well. The black powder load really "smoked". Here are today's results. The first shot went high - the other 4 were right-on with a 6-oclock hold. This should be great for hunting whitetail deer this Fall. . . . . 16ga-ball-poriska-416ga-ball-poriska-2
