Jeb........I guess I can tell you I have such a rifle in that caliber you just mentioned. However I don't shoot the 600 grain bullets! I don't know where any are at the moment to purchase.
I have mine loaded with 500 grain bullets going 2300 feet per second. It will shoot 2350 fps, however I backed it down because of possible sticky cases in African heat. It develops 70 pounds of recoil to the body with a 10.5 pound rifle. I use IMR-4320 powder @ 88 grains! It has a 25.5 inch Krieger barrel which is heavy and a 1 in 14 twist. :)
No how is that for taking the bait~!!! :p
