Me either. It's a bummer we lose our old friends, and one day I'll be gone as well.

their is no free lunch, a 500 gr bullet at 1800 fps is going to rattle your teeth.

I have an H&R with 32 in barrel . It is apples and oranges vs Sharpes , but it’s similar to being in a car wreck after 2 shots . I have no doubt it will stop any totally incapacitate any animal on this earth with a core t placed shot .

Don't you wish we'd had all these toys to shoot 35 years ago when we could take the abuse and not spend a week recovering. Bill

Yeah. I did that too. Actually shot it twice. The second time was because I thought, "It couldn't rally hurt that bad. Need to try again to confirm." Turns out, compared to the second shot, the first one wasn't bad at all. Still fun to visit, but I wouldn't want to live there.
