Another comment for those of stout heart (and the rest of us)...the .700 Nitro Express launches a 1000 grain FMJ projectile at 2000 ft. per second with 8900 pound-feet muzzle energy. The H&H doubles for this cartridge are said to be built light enough to be used by a hunter but have heavy recoil. A British understatement for sure!
The metal Phil has removed would lighten it further adding to the recoil which I very much doubt anyone could notice!!
