Stock vs recoil:

All this post does is show there is no one size fits all. Everyone experiences recoil differently and very few people are same size. Mind set also plays a huge part, maybe the bigger part.
 
The best .416 I ever shot had a 14" LOP and 5/8" drop at heel. It still kicked like a freight train, but I could shoot it all day (well, 30 rounds). The worst was an old CZ 550 with 1" drop. It chased me off big bores for two years.
 
Your custom stock’s 1 1/8" heel drop is more suitable for a shotgun or a light-recoiling deer rifle. For a .416, it’s a pain machine.

I've found that total gun weight is far more important than stock design. Simple physics says weight v power level will determine how much recoil a gun producers. All the stock design does is determine where that recoil goes.

Very strange indeed. I like most find stock design to be more important than weight in taming felt recoil.

See you are from Denmark - see quite a few Danes where I stalk in Scotland - great hunters.
The Harkilia stuff works well in Africa - I have a bit for use here in UK.

I am again looking for 600 Nitro dies preferably RCBS 1 inch. The set I purchased previously are 1 1/2 inch and do not fit my die. Another member has graciously taken them off my hands. If anyone happens to have a set of 600 Nitro Dies that will fit my Rockchucker Supreme RCBS press, please shoot me a message and thanks in advance for any assistance you may have to offer!

I have not posted any items for sale on this forum and will not every put anything for sale. My account was hacked and I've worked with the admin to get things shut down.
