Broke out the .500 BFR at 50 yards with Iron sites, 350 gr Berrys loaded with 38 grains of H110

50 yards with a revolver. Now we're talking my kind of shooting. Outstanding. So, how's that BFR been for you? I've been thinking about getting one for a long time.

How is the kick with that .500 BFR? I had one in 45-70 for a couple years. Good shooting!

I have had it for about 10 years and even shot some .500 specials that I made from regular .500 cases. A few years back I shot a deer at about 75 yards knocked it right down.

Actually the .500 BFR has a lot more recoil than a 45/70 BFR I shot a friends 45/70 and was suppressed at how lees of a recoil it had.
