Well, having owned a 416 Rigby and having shot a 458 Winny on several seperate ocassions, I really didn't show the 500 Jeff the respect I should have the first time I squeezed the trigger on a live round. It was, er, surprising I guess you could say. A .510" bullet weighing 535 grains accelerating to 2,400 fps in a 10 lb rifle did get my attention in a hurry.

I still haven't practiced with it enough to be proficient in a dangerous game situation, but I'm working on it.

I've taken to shooting two shot groups with it for the time being. Duane built a heck of rifle, I don't think I've ever handled one as well made as it. And it is accurate, even with me shooting it. After 6 shots at the range last weekend, I was feeling a little punch drunk, but enjoy the hell out of it.
