I used to have some shooting my .416 at 1900

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
