They are beautiful and interesting pieces of history. They stories of the old elephant hunters are amazing.

The recoil thing is just hard for me to even imagine. I spent the spring building and loading for a 6# Rem 600 in 350 Rem Mag. Range sessions were not fun, I ended up resorting to a Pact shoulder pad to get through the range time. I have a 35 Whelen and 358 Norma Mag but in heavier that are far easier to spend range time with. I still can't imagine pulling the trigger on a full-power 8 bore load.

My hat is off to you.

After the first shot the rest are just noise.
