Hello everybody:

This is an update of my experience shooting the 475 A&M.

I made 3 shots, two of them with a "reduced" charge (458 Lott power, 500 grains bullet @ 2,250 fps). I can not say that the kick was pleasant, but completly tolerable; then I shot a full load with a 600 grain solid bullet at 2,500 fps: I inmediately lost interest in shooting another one! The kick is "brutal" to say something.
Of course my son, that is 20 year old, shot about 10 times with both charges and return home very happy for the experience.
I am very happy also for the oportunity to shot such a big cartdige (many thanks to my friend Eric).

I think Stanton is completly right: for what I can saw in the videos we took and for the comments, our "heavy weighted" friends were hited worst than my son and myself that are "light weighted" and more "flexible".

Overall a great experience, thank you for all your comments and advise!

Best,

Jose
