[QUOTE="Master Carper, post: 1428365, member: 15527"] I had to put a muzzle brake on my H&R in 500 S&W and managed to kill several deer, hogs and a black bear with it. I loaned it out a couple of time and other guys have killed deer and hogs with it... Like Kirk said though, recoil is S-H-A-R-P and that is what makes it uncomfortable to shoot, especially when you are trying to develope a load and you run several rounds through the gun in a single session. A muzzle brake though, does make it quite a bit more comfortable to shoot... After just over 500 rounds though (532 to be exact) the barrel was so loose in the frame that I would not shoot it anymore. I eventually "stubbed" it and turned it into a 219 Donaldson Wasp....
