Sounds like that hi vel load may jar the shooter worse than a slower vel big gun like your .505 Gibbs. Less push back for sure, but maybe more "jolt"?

DF, I have fired my Buds 416 WBY so loaded, it gives a very fast and violent recoil, his is in a big Micky stock, no flex like wood.
The Pendleton brake on the factory WBY's help a little, but as far as sheer bone jarring recoil that old 505 pushing the 600 gr Woodleighs at 2450 fps with 145 grs H-4831 SC is a dirty rotten mule booting dog in it's own class.
My new loads feature the same bullets, both soft and solid at a more sedate and civil 2200 fps. LOL

Small point, but the "Pendleton Dekicker" was never on the .416 Wby's. That company went out of business before it was developed for release to the public. The only Wby's that have the Pendleton are the .460's from Japan. Don't recall ever seeing one on the German version but they could be there as well. John
When truth is ignored, it does not change an untruth from remaining a lie.
, I'll have to call my old Bud and ask him if he had his barrel done like a Pendleton, I would have sworn it was factory, and my Jap 460 indeed had one, and IIRC they looked identical.
And BTW, you may already know this, but a Bud of mine runs the newer 350 gr TTSX's out close to 3000 fps from his w/ a big charge of RL-22, a helluva all WW game firebreather.

All I hear when I read that is, OUCH!!!, my buddy has a damned sore shoulder everytime he pulls the trigger....

LOL BSA, I called old Bud from the deer stand this afternoon, his 416 WBY is Magna-ported, I was wrong, thought it had a factory brake.
Damn Fotis, a 416 WBY Classic-Mark? Didnt know they ever tooled together such a critter, The Classic-Marks are my fav WBY's, I have a CM-II in 300. Gunner
They made the ClassicMark in .378 and .460 too...in addition to the .416; the ClassicMark's are my favorite Mark V's also.
To me...the .378, which is unbraked, kicks worse than the .416 and the .460 (they have brakes on them).
I think the only real difference between the ClassicMark I and ClassicMark II is one had a cheekpiece and the other didn't. They have nice Claro Walnut on em' too. They are great rifles. The .416 WBY is a great round...as are all of the WBY rounds. I've only shot WBY factory loads and they are doggone hot!
Ha! If I can't get it done with one of those big Weatherby's, then it don't need doin' by me!
I agree. I have a pair of 9.3x62's a .375 H&H M-70 SS Classic and a .404J on a SS M-70 action. If I can't get it done with one of those, I'd better stay home...

Edited to add, one thing about those Mk V actions, they are about the fastest and slickest I've seen, shucking empties and cycling rounds. I never was much of a Wby fan, but a couple of years ago, obtained a Mk V and like it a lot. It's growing on me.
