Re: 500/416 experience's

Fascinating stuff. FYI 9threeXfifty7, before I took that .470 O/U Dumoulin double to Africa I did
shoot 15 rounds off a lead sled as an experiment, it was NOT clamped, merely put in the sled, which, with the sand bags weighed 30lbs approx. No probs experienced with the rifle, groups were about 4" at 50 yds, 2 left, 2 right. Put another 15 rounds through offhand at 25 yds, recoil was obviously a lot less off the bench. Funny thing is when I perforated the Hippo I never even heard the thing go off or felt anything, all relative I suppose, punching paper is never going to be the same as when the adrenalin is up best and a prosperous and happy New Year to all, Mike (and thanks for the powder recommendations)
