Showcase your Dangerous Game hunting cartridges

Unless we’re limited to African hunting, some would argue that at least two .35-cal rounds constitute viable DG cartridges since they’ve accounted for a fair share of big bruins and moose in Alaska over the years.

Pictured here, those two would be the .35 Whelen (middle) and the world’s first short magnum, the .350 Remington Mag (right):

My experience with that round is a grand total of three shots. That's enough for me for one lifetime. I even had my big boy pants on. Didn't make any difference to the recoil.

I shoot my 500 NE on a regular basis. First let me say it weights 11.5 LBS. That helps. Second, most all the shooting I do is with light/minimal powder charges since I reload all my own ammo. With that said, it is actually fun to shoot! However working up hunting loads was a bit challenging. Now that I have the loads I want (for hunting), I will not shoot full charges other than at game and or to validate my sights are OK after flying. When I was firing on buffalo in Sept., it handled like a 22LR. ;-)
