First Outing With the Beowulf

[itisagoodname]

Made it through 27 rounds before my shoulder told me to stop. About the equivalent of a light load 12ga.

I'm surprised your shoulder gave out before your wallet!!

This knife cuts both ways.

Light 3 1/2" load?


If you load your own ammo for the Beowulf? What bullets and powder?

Rainier 335gn HP with Hodgdon Lil' Gun and CCI magnum primers

Just wait til you throw some heavy grain Beo loads down range, makes a 12 gauge feel tame

Yeah, just like bowling, it helps to see where you need work from an outside perspective.

A high elbow provides a nice flat spot on the shoulder to help with spreading the recoil over a large area. I shoot my M14 with a very high elbow, that was the preferred way back in my day. With the light recoiling AR15, the elbow is now dropping lower because it provides a lower stress position. But you can't teach an old dog new tricks so I still use a high elbow. There are plenty of High Masters using a high elbow position so it is still a valid position.

Considering a .50 Beowulf for my next build (just for something different). Components don't seem all that expensive necessarily (I load/reload).

My first Beowulf outing I managed to get 20 rounds down range, I changed out to a A2 stock and buffer tube, took it out a couple of weeks ago, put 10 down range.
