Lehigh bullets are getting attractive in price for the caliber. It has me wondering about setting up a long range rifle in a 416. Like a way oversized 6 dasher or 6.5 grendel. The BC claimed is high, but if true, stays supersonic to 1800 yards @ 2400 fps muzzle velocity.
The recoil energy is quite high though. Not double 338 lapua, but it's more than 150%.
The question is, for 416 taylor shooters, do you figure you could set up a rifle in it on a bipod with a brake for some long range shooting with a suitable bullet? Or do you think the recoil at full snot is just too high? ELR for such an animal would not allow for downloading without sacrificing overall range.
What do you guys think?
