CanuckShooting a 500 A-square - more video
Here's another clip for all you big bore fans. This one is of a friend of mine taking his first ever shot with a 500A2...
We call him "Rubberneck".... This one is 2.2MB so it takes a little longer to download. I am sure you will like the soundtrack on this one, so make sure your speakers are turned up.

NitromanYa see why a "select" group of people like the big-bores? He was smiling and laughing after he pulled the trigger. What more could you want? More bullets and powder to get more jollies I say.

CanuckHi Mike,
The rifle is owned by 470Mbogo. It does not have a muzzle break.
Here's a picture of the rifle. It is a real beaut...
If I remember correctly, the load we were shooting that day is a 600 gr cast bullet with something like 118gr RL 15 for a tad over 2400 fps. Definately gets your attention, but was also thoroughly enjoyable (provided you are also a sick big bore freak

).

Mike375Canuck,
I have owned 2 460s but have
always backed way from 50 cal
because of bullets
But now that I have ordered
my Corbing bullet making
gear for 416, I have thought
about getting dies for 50 cal.
Also, I am now at the stage
where I wear ear muffs in the
field with any gun, so the
muzzle brake is becoming more
acceptable.
No doubt a CZ 416 to 500 A2
is the easiest way to 50 cal
In 50 cal I would make 500 grain
versions of the 45/70 300 grain
hollow points.
