 Elephant Gun Ultra-Rapid-fire Hammer Stumbled upon this video. I don't think my shoulder could take too much of this. |

Franz Albrecht is the greatest bolt action shooter on the planet. While not that caliber, still a machine

Looks 375 H&H not to expensive for hand loading, also doesn't kick that bad either not in a full size wood rifle, may even have a mercury tube in the stock......Be a lot more impressive if it was 505 Gibbs or one of the big elephant cartridges....Still pretty quick rate of fire though, I will give him that...

Don't see too any people using their middle finger to press the trigger. It does make things quicker though.

Just some perspective, a 300gr .375 HH Mag load has about half the recoil of a 12ga 3.5" turkey shell.

I recall reading (and/or my dad telling me about) WWI rifle shooters using their middle fingers to pull the trigger, index finger pointed forward, and when the shot breaks the shooter removes middle finger from trigger guard, rotates wrist upward… and that opens the action, pulls bolt back, then with thumb up, rotate wrist back down which closes the action, then middle finger back in trigger guard, bang.

For some reason I’ve always wanted a Ruger #1 chambered in 416 Rigby.
Absolutely no logical purpose for that, something so nostalgic about that caliber. |

I am absolutely NOT a recoil junkie. As a kid, I had a .300WM and that was enough. I didn't even really shoot it much.
One of the reasons I like the AR15 so much is the lack of recoil. I remember being amazed the first time I fired my dad's. I just had to have one after that, and I've had one (well, at least one), for over 30 years.

When I was a kid, maybe 10, my dad thought it would be hilarious to prank me when shooting. He put 3 of those light/target loads in his pump 12 gauge followed by a 3" magnum buck shell. It startled me enough that I dropped the gun, and he yelled at me for dropping it.
