How big is "big bore" ?

[jfseaman]

Most big bores rifles are very manageable to shoot. Big mistake most people make is trying to shoot off a bench. Big Mistake.

When I'm on the bench the biggest problem is the concussion bouncing off the bench and roof.

Recoil is not an issue.

There is an abundance of testosterone on this site.

Not at all. I shoot more 22LR than anything else. I'm working on a 17 and 20 cal that are less powerful than a Hornet.

I like my big stuff because the after effects is very relaxing. I'm chilled out for the evening and I sleep well.

This is my next project. That's a 223 case.

IS that a Mauser action?

My point, about the testosterone, precisely! Manly, manly!

"What is a big bore?"

Anything over .224!

If you are talking about modern(ish) cases then I've always thought big bore started at the 40 cal line. I've always heard/read the 33s up to the 375s referred to as medium bores.

If you are talking BPCR then I think "big" starts with the 45s (actually anything smaller than a 45 is small) Everything else it just normal.
