One gun - One bullet

Ah yes, good old JC.
Didn't he call it Baby?

For interest sake here is what AR got from their 416/404.

103 gr Varget >2659fps
102Gr RL-15 >2564
104 VVN540 >2657
108 VVN550 >2607
111 748 >2631

OAL length was 3.63-3.70 inches.

What sort of recoil do those show in a 10 pound package?

The 9-1/4 pound 450Ackly didn't show as all that much on paper, but in the real world it pounded me fearsomely. My buddies box stock 460Wby is more comfortable to shoot...Though it is a lot heavier.


Good point Woodlotowner.

If we consider Jeff Cooper's load for the .460 G&A, a similar animal, which was a 500 gr Hornady over 90 grs of 4064 for 2400 from a 21" barrel, and a 12 pound rifle, the game opens at just over 64 ft/lbs. If we were to increase the powder charge to say 100 grs and increase the velocity to 2600, it looks more like 76.3 ft/lbs. I doubt if the Ultra case could hold 100 grs of propellant with such a long bullet, so lets say 500 ahead of 95 grs for 2600 and we get 75.5 ft/lbs.

50 BMG (647 grain bullet at 2710) only has 70 ft. lbs. recoil!! Mind you that's in a 30 lb. gun. What was the original question here??
 
One cartridge with one bullet for me would be the 338-06 loaded with the 210 gr TTSX.

With that said I could make do with a 30-06 and 180 grain Partitions, or a 270 with a 150 Partition, or damn near any rifle chambered from 260 Remington and up launching a quality bullet from any manufacturer.
