Gary,
Did you ever get that PC Smith & Wesson?

Not yet - I guess I need to call them and find out what's going on...

Wow Gary, that's 3700 Ft-Lbs from a 15" handgun! You should bring that one to africa. How is the recoil? How much would one of those set me back?

The 416 Taylor is a 458 Win necked down to 416. It's shown here with a 400 grain Hornady. The barrel was $800 from SSK with forend, TSOB mounts & rings & brake. The dies were about 40 from Hornady. The recoil is stout as you might imagine but I find it manageable. A couple weeks ago I shot about 30 rounds from the bench and it wasn't a big deal.

I keep looking for a new barre(=toy), but I don't think this is one for me. Any other suggestions though?

Well I guess the first step is deciding what you want to be able to do with it. I got this barrel for cape buffalo.

Gary, That's where I always get into trouble, I think too much. I don't really need anything else for what I do(whitetail). But there is something more out there. You know how it is one you get a barrel and ammo combo working it gets boring. Just looking

Gary, I guess those 6 HUGE ports tame the recoil down to a managable level. They look like they would be very efficent, I wish I could get that type of porting system on my .444 Marlin Rifle...
You say you got this for Cape Buffalo, I am just wondering why you didn't opt for the less expensive non-custom .500 Smith and Wesson Magnum? In a 15" barrel you could get up to 3500 Ft-Lbs and at least as much knock down power on the Cape Buffalo. Well, maybe you have one of those too...
