Recoil of the 450 Marlin
« on: October 14, 2004, 02:56:25 PM »
Can somebody please tell me what the recoil of the 450 feels like in the NEF's?
Is it comparable to a shotgun with slugs?
Has anybody tried muzzlebrakes or porting?, figured it would make one good hog or bear gun
thanks

Here's a recoil table for a comparison.

Porting makes them very very very LOUD and they have a nasty habit of spitting lead and copper out of them sometimes

It can kick like a proverbial mule...but not as hard as a 3" mag slug out of a 6 lb slug gun

Would make an excellent gun for bear or hogs...with... the right load of course

The downside to it...is the lack of factory ammo


If you handload...shouldn't be a problem....but if you don't...take a close look at the 45-70...it's a great catridge and comes in all kinds of loadings from mild.....to Wild

I have a model 94 in a 450.my win. is around 6 lbs..the only gun i can compare the recoil to that i've had is my 300 win. in a #1-b that went 8 lbs..I think nef's fall close to 7 or 7 1/2.mines ported, but it still does'nt help much.the power of this thing is unbeleavable.I shot through a 8 in. thick hemlock at 50 yds.the exit hole was the size of a half dollar.the bullet keep going into the bank about 6 ft. away.I have to sight mine in this coming week.if you get one have fun :-)


I'm going to use mine on a whitetail this season. :twisted:
