I couldn’t imagine 20 rounds at a range session with a 500 Jeffery. I limit myself to 3 with my 450 Rigby and a lot of dry fire practice on empties. The recoil is just too severe to enjoy.
Do you shoot freehand or from the bench ?
A heart lung shot will surprise you how far they can run especially if they are near another country or outfitters area meaning they can run to where you cannot go
I wouldn’t do that with any hunting cartridge. I generally try to limit myself to 5 rounds and max 10 for a particular circumstance and with the 450 max of 3. I go for the shoot more often and shoot less approach. I should also add though I don’t enjoy shooting at all. I only practice shooting so I know I’m proficient for upcoming hunts.
Mostly offhand
No, not first detachment. That one was spontaneous. Second detachment occurred three months later after a morning goose hunting with 3" twelve gauge. I seem to recall only one bird and it went in the freezer feathers and guts till I could get back in town after surgery. The third lower quadrant detachment was another three months and spontaneous.
Exactly!!
Same thing with Cowboy Action Shooting, which it being Canada, I did not do (you can, just a lot more red tape than I prefer). But it is a discipline that shows you how to run certain rifles, and how to get efficiency up. You can apply that thinking to any shooting activity, if you can get enough critical mass to have even local competitions. I did do 3D shoots in Canada, largest competitive field I ever saw. Just has to be practice that is in some respect practical, even a few dozen shooters is the refiner's fire.
I don't have an opinion on that feat, but another instance that I return to the early days of silhouette pistol for. Not there or anything, I just remember reports that one of the earlier matches was won by a guy with a 1911/45 ACP and hard ball. Targets that have to be hit out to 200 yds. Maybe he was a national match hone trigger puller...
In the grizz camp reports, the issue was that not only does the client screw up the unpressured shot with a heavier gun, and few even had 375s, the issue was that the guides did worse cleaning up the mess. Conceptually the client who saved the day, had to because he had already dropped the guide into a near impossible situation. In that article in Rifle, '90s, maybe, read it last summer. They tracked every shot, and the worst situation was a client with a 458 where it took 26 shots, to solve a problem that might never have developed if the first shot had hit home from a 338.
He probably owned a Model T, and crank phone at one time. Bullets were probably fairly primitive in his day. He probably had more opportunities for a mixed bags, and less concern about nearby dwellings and people.
