Have fun - make sure your medical insurance covers recoil-induced retina dislocations.

Oh yeah, in the States, everyone has the same wonderful insurance now or do they?

When I was 23 yrs. old, I fired an 8 1/2 pound .505 Barnes Supreme. It launched a 600gr. Barnes bullet using 125gr. IMR3031 (apparently) but I didn't check the load data. Upon pulling the trigger, I saw lights flashing at the shot - which I'm told is caused by the retina being pulled loose from the eyeball. 1/2 hour later, I went back to shooting my .375H&h and it felt like a match weight .222.
