My friend's dad handed us a rifle one time. He said "Hey try out my new gun." Then he handed us a box of 6 rounds labelled either 500 or 600 gr. I can't remember anymore. I said, "What the hell is this?" he had just purchased a used 458 with a very "forgiving" (note the sarcasm) steel butt plate. The two of us went to the range. Loaded up without thinking and I took the first shot. I've never felt pain like that from a gun in my life. My fingernails hurt.


Deal with it.
