larger Cape Buffalo plus maybe a special hunt thrown in. My problem is trying to jack up my power and still being able to handle the recoil. My 41 GNR last week on that Watusi hurt like a bitch and my hand stayed swollen the entire trip home. So I have 7 months to get that hand back in shape. To be honest I don't know how much more recoil I can handle. I don't think there will be a problem with handling the 450 GNR again with a 500 grain bullet, although I may cry like a little 8 year old girl afterward. But if I get that special hunt I will need something with a lot more punch. Sean is doing the ballistics right now. I need a 500 grain solid at 2200 fps and i don't know if my hand will handle that. Hopefully. And being your are so much older and weaker than me I worry about you handling more than that puny little 416 Dowop you used last time.
