I've owned a S&W Performance Center 500 with a 10.5 inch barrel. It has been to South Africa and Zimbabwe. I shoot mostly 440-gr hardhats. In the past five years I have taken an old stink bull giraffe and a lion. I'm 75, and found that lots of rounds through the gun helped me overcome recoil..
If you are going to own one, shoot it.
My maximum load is a 700-gr hardcast at 1300fps. You DO know when the gun goes off.
Next year I'm going after a Cape buffalo with the same gun.
