450 GNR

but they were not very dramatic. It kicks straight back for the most part, me grimacing a bit, fanning my hand, maybe kissing my knuckle. (unless I lock both hand webs at the back of the grip I get knuckle bit or whacked somehow - I use Pachmayr grips so I can reach the trigger better) There is also almost no muzzle flash as about all the powder is burned in the barrel. I was using H322 but several of my buddies use IMR3031. I've used H4895 too but it's not as hot as 322. You have a tiger by the tail for a special purpose. I used to have Dr. Firman's elephant shot with the .416 GNR at 2000+ fps and about 20-25 yds. Puffy loaded the ammo for him using IMR3031 I think, I have his load data someplace. The old coot pulled it off slick.

We'll have to look and see. I'll admit I'm a sissy, I don't think I'm interested in pushing my .476 GNR 500 gr./2000 fps. I currently have a 7mm-08, .416, .440, and .476 GNR in the Encore handgun platforms, no .450 GNR.

These are .440 GNR

and may not get it to 2000. At 1850 the recoil is rough. Manageable but rough on both the shooter and the scope. Anyway, I shoot it a bit every afternoon, easing up a bit on my load each session. I know the gun will take it. Whether I can and whether the scope can is sort of iffy. It comes to a point of being too much in the field and not being able to get a quick second shot off when the gun is pointed straight up and has twisted almost out of my hand. But we shall see. We are a bit over 4 weeks now so time is getting short.

And the recoil wasn’t too bad, but another 100gr of bullet might be too much fun! I’m surprised how effective Gary’s muzzle breaks are.
