Recoil on the .366 D.G.W. in a 10 1/2 lb rifle is in the 50+ foot pound range, alittle less then the .416 Rigby. Not the chambering you want in a 7 pound rifle. With the brake design I used on my rifle recoil is more like a 300 Winchester but the recoil is slower and there is no muzzle jump even when shooting off the bench.
In the near future we hope to have the cartridge picked up by one of the factories as it is in Cartridges of The World, (tenth eddition) And the Safari Club International just did a feature article about it. If and when it gets comercialized all you non loaders can get ammo which if not into reloading is a real big handicap.
True it is not a cartridge for everyone, neither is a custom car, or for that matter anything offering ultimate performance. Things like the .366 only appeal to those that know the difference. To quote Mr. Walter Enslin, a professional hunter in South Africa and ranked as #4 in S.A. in their competive shooting circle.
" The combination of velosity and bullet weight of the .366 D.G.W. seemed more ideal then anything I have seen before."
Sorry James, this is somthing you will not understand!
