RE: recoil
ColoradoElk,
MagFest II? Alas, we can get together somewhere and have some fun, but the Cherry Creek Shooting Center no longer exists --- victim of the anti-gun do-gooders and the Cherry Creek State Park. Allan Duckworth (the African PH) and Peggy are heading back to Tanzania to plan their next move. That is going to leave us thin at the 458 and 500 caliber slots, unless you picked up that 500 Nitro Express double or have picked up a new acquaintance since last year (460 Weatherby would be nice!)
Allan was a strict taskmaster and addressed big bore issues one does not even normally consider when hunting North American Game. He and Peggy will be sorely missed.
Good Luck and Good Hunting,
EKM
