I came across a .500 Jeffery handload that calls for 119.0 grains of H4350, pushing a 535 grain bullet along at 2250 fps  :o

Now, I've met a few pack mules in my life, never been kicked by one but, I have been kicked by a Quarter horse or two, it's a real eye-opening experience when they land it just right  >:(

I cannot image shooting that beast of a load, it had to be invented by someone with the shoulder orthopedic replacement team, lol.

When you have a ton of pissed off Cape buffalo boring down on you from forty yards away, you won't even remember a recoil. ????

Sure would hate to have to sight it in though.

Isn't it only 58? Or am I just bad at maths? 58.8 at 7000gr/lb.

Back when I was building and shooting smokeless muzzleloaders I had a load that was compromised of 60 grn. Of Vit. N120 pushing a 300 grn. Barnes Original in a Harvester black crush rib sabot that killed on both ends!
