Mike I had no idea that recoil could be so much fun...just comparing 9,3 and .400...since 9,3 weighs 3 punds less, recoil is stil shallower tho sharper + it has a hogback stock and you get a certain smack in the cheek that is noticable at the range only...while with .400 recoil is deeper and stronger still slower but not even near of nasty or unbearable...so yes I will be looking to get me a 500 grainer shooter to try first from now on.
