In other words, all loads for the 500 do NOT produce the same effects....
I just ran my first 50 rounds of this recipe last Saturday and a friend of mine commented that he could tell I was running a lower powered load due to the lack of side concussion. The funny thing is I was wanting to shoot 50 more! At least!!
BTW, Post's #4 & 6 describe consequences.. Not Overkill.....

If nothing else, the .500 makes for a significant intimidation factor...
