My .476 GNR gets mostly a diet of Trail Boss and 325 gr. cast bullets. The 6 lb. Encore pistol puts out .480 Ruger performance and recoil is not an issue. The .440 can do the same with any .44 bullet. The .416 is hampered by not having many options for "cheap" bullets to shoot. I do have a good mould for it myself though. Took some looking and luck to find.
With both rounds I think you really need a brake. The .350 GNR might get by w/o but you'd wish you had one eventually.

How would these fair in Africa; 440 GNR or 350 GNR. (nm)
