me either John. When I was getting ready for my Cape Buffalo

hunt a year or so ago my PH told me to get my 450 GNR up to as close to 2000 fps with a 500 grain solid as I could. When I got to a bit past 1900 it flat out hurt. It was enough that I was a bit afraid I would flinch. But when the Buffalo trotted out to meet us and I took the shot, I never heard the shot nor did I remember the recoil. But I flat out heard that 500 grain bullet hit him.
