Let me relate this story to you. I got a 475 Linebaugh to hunt with and shot probably 800 rounds of light loads before working up hunting loads. It got close to hunting season and I did not have much trigger time on the heavier loads and they were shot mostly from the bench. I went hunting and got set up in the woods. Almost 270 degrees around me I could rest the gun, Perfect I thought. I stood up to stretch my legs and here comes a buck from behind and to my right. No chance for a rest. I grabbed the revolver and went into offhand mode. What a mistake, on the shot the gun recoiled and hit me in the nose and forehead. Blood everywhere! OUCH! I did get the buck. I now practice a lot more with hunting loads.
