A German fella let me shoot his .416 Rigby, in a Brno set up. One word.....KICK....
He offerd five shots, he was testing some hand loads. I gave him four back. It was set up with a scout scope, so I didn't have to worry about a scope in the eye. But what made it actually hurt, is it was shooting from the prone.

Jon. A word of advice. When shooting the biggies, stand on you hind legs and shoot lik a man. They don't hurt as much that way.  I can do maybe 5 from a standing bench rest with either the .416 or .404 and probably three from the sitting position since my shoulder went bad. A standing bench rest is set up so you get bench rest steadiness and the easier effect of recoil where the body as kind of go with the flow.Prone might be more accurate but the fact that the body can't give can cause problems from rifles with stiff recoil.

The Lead Sled is the best $120 I ever spent and makes my big bore guns fun to shoot. I have a problem right shoulder and I also have a disk problem at 3-4 in the neck. So I must be careful with the big bangers.
My 458 Lott is pretty stout. The 400gr recoil is actually worse than the 500gr. The 400 has a ripping recoil, at 2600 fps where as the 500 at 2300 fps is still more of a push. I shoot the sled then stand and shoot just two rounds. A good grip on everything is real necessary, elsewise your glasses fly off and your hat must be retrieved. But the worse thrashing I ever took was from a light weight 9.3x74R Drilling. That stock was all wrong and would stomp a mud hole in you, in short order. The sharp comb dug into my cheek like a heaveyweight boxer's punch. You received a kick and a punch at the same time. I shot it once, and never shot it again. Best, Ed
