[QUOTE="osok-1k, post: 3031946, member: 106259"] I worked with a friend (Roger Hunziker) some years ago who built custom large bore revolvers based on Ruger Vaqueros. He asked me to proof fire one in 475 Linebaugh which (being an avid 44 mag shooter) I was happy to do. Five rounds of it bruised my hand for over a month and I wore a Pachmayr padded shooting glove but in the face of a large Grizzly I don't think I would notice or care. Follow up shots would be slow just recovering from recoil. I would be ok carrying my S&W model 29 with a Lehigh 265 flat face solid at max load but a S&W 10mm auto would likely be better with Underwood or Buffalo Bore ammo and a lot of practice. [/QUOTE]
