I have a line on a Smith and Wesson chambered in 500. It is the 4 inch "backpacker" model. I fully realize the recoil impulse on full power loads are a handful, but I am wondering if anyone has tried some low to mid power range loads that a feller can shoot a couple of boxes through without any real pain.
I am also interested in accuracy on the low power loads. I did some research on other places on the net, and some folks do not suggest shooting low power out of the 500. I can't fathom why this would be an issue. I am hoping there are some folks who have a 500 Smith who might be willing to share some actual first hand experience with the gun.
I plan on shooting the man makers as well, but the older I get, the less I enjoy having wrist pain the next morning from shooting.
