I think I just found my theoretical limit in calibers . . .

Of course, my husband wants a .375 H&H . . . (roll eyes)

I just know that if it wasn't for the muzzle brake I'd probably never shoot the thing.  Amazingly enough the brake works so good recoil is virtually nil on my .50, the problem is the concussion from all that powder.  You know that tingly feeling you get when you get hit in the nose?  It's the same feeling I get every time I touch off a round.  The shock wave off of that thing is certainly something to be respected.

Course the worst thing that can happen is a dry fire.  First time it happened to me, I left the gun sit for about 15 minutes then went back and VERY quickly recocked it and tried again.  Luckily it went off the second time, I'd have sure hated having to jack a live round out of that thing. ;)
