Working up loads for magnums

[mwkelso]

This Break was built by a Guy here in Port LaVaca Texas Just ran some 45 rounds Downrange, this afternoon. No red on shoulder and not (NOT) using a Sled!LOL300 WM

That looks nice! I'm excited to go shoot this weekend and see how it does, mainly for the shoulder

Don't forget the electronic hearing protection. You can hear deer in the woods before you see them.

Rich, what electronic hearing protection are you using? Anyone else have suggestions/feedback for something that would work well in the field to be worn longer time frames?

MSA Supreme Pro-X with gel cushions. I have tried many brands and this is the one I used last year and will use until I find something better. At the range I use plugs and muff.

I once shot a Mossberg pump gun, when they first started selling the 3-1/2 inch 12 gauge shells for shooting turkeys. Once was enough !!! Recoil was BRUTAL.

Oh, come on... Those things were fun... I had one of the Mossberg pumps too. Goose and turkey loads were interesting...
The highest recoil weapon I've ever fired was a lightweight m700 in 416 Remington shooting 400 grain factory ammo... That one got my attention...

Update on the brake- MUCH better shooting behind this now It also is much calmer. I'm able to watch the dirt behind the target fall after impact. Wasn't able to see that before.

With the ear plugs in, I couldn't tell much of a difference. But I did set up my phone on slow-motion to record a couple of shots. The phone was about 6' behind me. In the recordings I can see the image shaking from the concussion waves.

Of course!
