Default RE: Shooting Heavy Conicals

You guys have good memories, Those targets were shot with 110
grains of T7 with a 460 bullshop ,Range was 200 yards.
The small 4 shot group was with a White U-M.
The top 3 were shot with an Omega with 348 powerbelts AT
115 grains of T7.
Rifles were sighted in at 118 yards with a peep sight.
Drop at 200 was 20".

I agree speed kills but that is not an option in some states.

I don't feel any load I ever shot out of a White had any recoil to speak of.
The 300 Weatherby that I have thumps you a heck of a lot more.

I have a .410 White that I got from UC, that little thing does not kick at all almost to the point of feeling under gunned at whitetails,I know its not
tho.

I would go up a little more (120 grains)in the White if it would not lose accuracy,now mind you this is at elk and maybe next year at moose ,no reason to shoot scrawny deer with this heavy of a load unless you want to do what Caugad does and shoot a couple with one shot
