One thing you always have to consider when people say the .500 doesn't kick is what kind of load did they shoot.
When the .500 was new, many people got to demo the gun using the relatively wimpy 275 gr commercial load, a load that is a piddler in a gun as heavy as an 8 3/8" .500 Mag. Of course, they might not have been impressed, a different story had they shot the 440 gr Cor Bons. Don
