We got a 1050 gr slug over 2200 in th eSavage. Cases extracted easy, gun works fine. We get questions about recoil. My Savage is a pussycat being heavy relative to the loads...Now Rob's gets exciting... Rob shot a few 1000 grain Bridgers at 3250 fps and he said he couldn't go any higher as recoil was "severe". His Borchardt is 24 lbs, and can take any pressure you could load for it and still hang on. Cartridges of this size really gets the juices flowing at over 23,000 ft lbs..Ed
