As always, there are many great perspectives on this subject. Like Jimmy Buffet says, "questions are the easy part, the answers raise the doubt...". I don't have oodles of experience with big boomers. The biggest thing I own and shoot is a .375 magazine rifle and it's an absolute cream puff. On the other hand, I've also got a Weatherby .270 mag that I'm not sure if it's ever been dead nuts zeroed. The recoil on the Weatherby is so dang sharp I swear I've seen my fillings hovering just past the scope!

The reloading equipment options CaptCurl offers for the .450 and the .500 definitey weight towards both of those calibers. I wonder though what effect a larger meplat bullet like Garret produces would have on the .470s perforance. I suppose that the same option applies to all cartridges. Hmmmm

Not like I have to make a decision tomorrow,so I'll keep cogitatin on the matter.

Thanks y'all

Bret
