At one of the HHC with with my 476GNR Encore with a 400gr LBT. one shot in the shoulder put it down. And it flattened the Lion on my last African trip with Gary and the guys. The round I used in Africa was 500gr Hornady dangerously game round. Copper plated steel jacket with enough IMR 4198 to push to 1900fps. It is one bad ass round! I practice reload one round right after another. Fast and clean , as hot as those rounds were, the empty case fell right out of the barrel. I would brake the action open with the barrel pointed up after the shot the case would drop right out then quickly point it down, drop a new round in and level the gun off as I closed the action and was ready to shoot again in a couple of seconds.
