brass. What would you recommend for that, 13+2?

Going big bore, is recoil managed easier in a pistol or rifle/carbine? I seem to have target acquisition problems with the long eye relief pistol scopes and the finicky focal range. I had a brand that was clear as day but the eye position to keep in focus was annoying. That is why I ask more about the pistol/carbine length barrels so I can scope.

In TC pistols, I’m currently trying the C-More Slideride/Railway red dots for fast target acquisition and a 2 MOA dot. I like the big sight picture it allows without hugging the barrel (my preference). I wish C-More made that model like the Vortex Strikefire - red and green dots. That would be nice.

Hah, I mention recoil management after ordering a second cylinder for my 475L Flattop Hunter in 470 GNR. Gary marketed it as s ball buster. Hopefully I don’t park the front sight in my forehead.

How would these fair in Africa; 440 GNR or 350 GNR. (nm) - O’ Gary, 2018-02-16, 19:47
- the 350 is perfect for those longer shots and the 440 GNR - Gary Reeder, 2018-02-16, 19:50

        I think my 476 is a 14+2", go both ways. - WB, 2018-02-17, 09:02
        14+2 sounds a good compromise. Need Gary - O’Gary, 2018-02-17, 09:39
