So I was watching Wild West Alaska and watched the dude shoot a .500 Nitro Express and it dislocated his shoulder. The worst recoil I have felt was from a .300 Win Mag. It was a Win Mod 70 featherweight and I blew the reticle up in my prized vintage Redfield 2-7. My question is has anyone ever fired the .500 Nitro? If so can you quantify in terms of recoil how much worse it is than say a 12 gauge with 3" slugs. It would appear to me you would have to be insane or about to be eaten by something to willingly light the fire on that beast.
