585 NYATI.. The MOST Ignorant recoil I have felt.

Small wirey guys handle recoil better than big muscular types because the little guys "give" with the recoil--big guys "absorb" the recoil and it punishes them worse.

your right. bigger guys take more of the thump. little guys get pushed around.
i am i big guy. i still put more lead down range.
 
600gr at 2400 would be a light load for that gun. My 510 will do that. Ignorant is the word for that kind of recoil but it can be managed
 
I like big stuff, but the .585 begs the question, what is it for? If a .577 was designed around a 750 gr bullet, and the .600 Nitro for a 900 gr bullet, the .585 should fall somewhere in between. Mark Sullivan tried a .700 Nitro shooting 1000 gr bullets for a season, and considered it too much of a good thing, one might suspect the .585 is as well.
 
The 500jeffries I had was enough to cure me from wanting any more stupid sized cals I can shoot my 375H&H and its quite pleasant in comparison

I owned a 460 Wby for a while. Lovely screwbean mesquite stock, Pendleton muzzle brake, and the most ridiculous recoil you have ever experienced! :eek:

Guys used to want to try it out all the time. It was the most entertaining part of a visit to the range.

378 is not bad at all. 460 is a bit more but still OK with a scope and 500/510 is about my limit. This takes years of practice and not for every one.
 
I was told "Nayeti" means Cape Buffalo in Swahilie.
Hope I remembered my facts correctly. Lol!

I wouldnt even consider shooting it.
Worked too many years to eliminate my flinch! Now that my flinch is gone, I refuse to invite him back!!! Lol!
 
The nastiest rifle I've ever fired was a Weatherby Mark V actioned, laminate stocked
9.5 lb.unit chambered in .475 A&M magnum with full house rounds. 500gr. solids
at 9800+ft. lbs. energy. I took 2 shots with that gun and called it a day.:eek:
That rifle was bought by my buddy for $500.oo back then, and I passed it over
at the gun shop when the original owner brought it in cause of lack of funds.

This was in the mid 80's. I wish I had bought that beasty then,because
I like shooting big-ass cannons with reduced loads and cast bullets.
Now that we have Trail Boss powder, I'll gladly take a .585 Nyati if the
price was right and go do some stake busting and hunting with'er for sure!
:cool:
