416 ruger recoil

[BigUglyMan]

416's?? Karamojo Bell only needed a 7x57 for critters bigger than that.

No, that was the 9.3...hence why I was picking up the brass so astutely!

 

[Why not?]

Well, I can tell you that, during this little expedition, I didn't feel the recoil...whether it was light or heavy....

I sometimes don't even hear the shot. Adrenaline is often amazing!

Maybe that's old age.... Lol. Just kidding

 

[Why not?]

That becomes more and more a part of it.

I've got that same habit. Made a note to stop doing that after this last trip. Should be focused on the quarry.

I might be absent minded, but at rock-throwing distance I wasn't going to misplace that giant slab of meat!

 

[Slamfire]

I will be focused on it being down for good, never mind the spent cases.

Same here. I never feel the recoil or hear the shot when hunting.

Thorough, 100% derail.

And thus began a great expedition in skinning and quartering. You have the appropriate transportation close at hand we used tarps dragged on snow last bison. Don't recommend it.

You're good on the derail that's a medium bore doing medium bore things, in a medium bore thread. Right on target.

 

[Slamfire]

Medium bore: .33 to .39 calibers.

Big bore: .40+ calibers.

 

[Ardent]

.404s and .416s are still definitely medium bores, big you need to get .45 and up.

 

[Milt Dale]

Most sources define big bore as .4 and up, medium .33 -.39.

 

[Slamfire]

Most sources define big bore as .4 and up, medium .33 -.39.

And the nice thing about that definition is that it also signifies the threshold below which calibers impart inadequate/marginal shock.

You've either got a wicked sense of humour or your last name's Taylor.

Tell this Grizz from two weeks ago you need a .40 plus to shock... client used a single round from his 7 Mag, didn't leave the radius of his own shadow. If you want shock, you want speed. If you want excessive penetration, you want weight and bore can help in that. Hey BUM started it.

very nice bear Angus. part of history. hope you will get back the right to guide people there.

But, but, but my books say so!

We hope so too, time will tell and thanks Phil. That bear will be on the floor of a once removed member of the CGN hunting fraternity.

I've evolved from a Taylor guy into a Bell-Roy-O'Connor guy. Seen from 7x57 to .375 Ruger on Grizzlies and the most effective rounds have been the fast ones.

'Ol Elmer knew his stuff. Hell I was there...

 

[Ardent]

I like his revolver work, just wish we could hunt with a good single action here I'd be all over it.
