Works fine.

Let's not have yet another "I can't use FB post". Works fine on the browser. No login required.

I've read about those cartridges for years but have never so much as seen any bigger than the 505 Gibbs other than in pictures.

The video is prima facia evidence that masochism is alive and well and finding a way to feed itself.

4 Bore? Years ago I got to shoot Ray Meyer’s 4 bore T. Bland single shot (yes, full BP loads, yes, more than one time) and didn’t lose control of the rifle like that “big strong guy”. I think “Omnivorous Bob” has that rifle now.
I’m 5’ 11” and 165 lbs and while I may have rocked back, it was not big drama.
……….But then I wasn’t looking for youtube fame either. I call clickbait BS.

OK - tried again - twice. What I posted above is EXACTLY what came up on the screen. Maybe it's because of my location. When I tried above, my VPN was connected to Seattle, this time, Toronto. I'll post it again - twice as received - copy paste.

Do we have to have these posts every time a FB video link is posted?

The link works fine.

Cancel the request to setup an account or whatever.

Click on the X on the next "Get the fill experience" page,

The video appears without being logged in, or having a FB account, or using the FB app.

Or just join FB.

Or just miss out on seeing these videos.

FB is crap, But videos on FB is a fact nowadays.

I've never seen a video of myself.

The "beast" guhseems to have most of these guns slipping through his fingers and hands on firing.

The other guy with the .600 less so but also a bit.

With heavy recoiling guns is this normal?

Ever seen a video of yourself?

A rifle with strong recoil must be held strongly by the pistol grip. It should not slip, otherwise you will injure your fingers, sometimes very seriously. When shooting big bore rifles, you also need to pay attention to other things, such as what your head and neck are doing, all of which are much more important than the pressure on your shoulder. Shooting with big bore rifles must be learned and practiced.There is a big difference between a rifle caliber 375 H&H Magnum and a rifle caliber 416 Rigby. We don't even need to talk about larger calibers at first. Some things can be learned painfully yourself, how we had to do it in times when all these rifles were no longer used as they are nowadays, or get trained by people who can handle such rifles, which is possible in our time without problems.

I do watch FB videos from e-mails, NP.
This one, however not. Doesn't matter.
I tried clicking on the facebook watch link and this came up.

"www.fb.watch. has a security policy called HTTP Strict Transport Security (HSTS), which means that Firefox can only connect to it securely. You can’t add an exception to visit this site."

So - there you go. NP
