The threads waxing lyrical on the virtues of the 500 Jeffery and the .505 Gibbs couldn’t help but remind me of how much more convenient my A2 is to own and shoot. .460 and .416 Weatherby brass is easily available, and any one of half a dozen powders produce perfectly satisfactory results. Depending on your pain tolerance, recoil can be made mild (well, relatively), to wild. All in all, I’d argue it’s one of the more practical .50 caliber rounds, if there is such a thing. I’m really surprised by the lack of enthusiasm for the round.
