I would agree with that too.

I own an rifle of this caliber and shot amongst other things some elephants with it. It's a very good cartridge for this purpose.

Nevertheless, I would also warn about the recoil of rifles of this caliber. Many rifles of the caliber 500 Jeffery are sold again on a regular basis in our countries so it cannot be excluded that some people have problems with the recoil of this rifles.

Reduced loads or a lot of systems to reduce the recoil are not a good solution for an traditional big game rifle.

The recoil with regular non reduced loads is very strong, but anyone who is familiar with the recoil of rifles such as caliber 460 WBY-Magnum will not have any problems with that.
