Finally got to shoot my new to me Virgin Valley 470 NE barrel on my Encore pistol frame. 16" full bull with a very effective muzzle tamer actually puts it on par with a stout 30-06 load using Pachmayr decelerator grip. My .500S+W with TC factory break and 500gr. bullets actually recoils much more abruptly. I was truly surprised at how controllable the barrel is and how little muzzle rise their was with the break, especially considering I was shooting 500gr. Woodleighs. It recoils upward much less than either of my .375jdjs do, or my .375-06jdj. I may have to try it on deer this year using some .475 hard cast pistol bullets!!! Pics to follow shortly!!!

I wonder if that's the same barrel I was going to take on my buffalo hunt. Was going to do some video of a hunt for Virgin Valley and used a 470 nitro barrel. Chrono'd the 500 grain xlc's at 1850. Shot it 8 times and cried Uncle. Ended up using a 338 instead.

I thought it recoiled less (mainly due to the excellent brake) than my TC factory .500 S+W with TC's muzzle tamer and 500gr. factory loads! Still stout, but my wrist didn't hurt after the first shot!!!

Wasn't there a video on You Tube of a Guy shooting a 470 encore pistol and it going by his head as it left the shooting area?

There was one of a .416 Rigby, might be one of a .470 as well... Regardless, I thought it much more controllable with less violent recoil than my .500 S+W Encore pistol barrel when loaded with the same weight bullets likely due to shooting fairly quick burning powder in the S+W vs. slower burning rifle powder in the .470...
