I also have had my muffs cleaned off my head by a 45/70 shooting 400 grain bullet,TC contender with 12.5" barrel. My own fault, I was trying the off hand on the forearm style of shooting. That was in the 80's and have not tried it since.

If that actually is a Nitro Express... I wonder who chambered it? None of the aftermarket companies chamber the .500 NE in the Encore. The biggest I've seen listed is the .500 Alaskan and the .50-110.

Play stupid games... win stupid prizes. That was beyond stupid.

All the best,
Glenn

If at first you don't succeed... buy newer / better equipment!

Awwwww, geeee whiz, someone just wanted a little more action out of his .50 Action Express. Ought to be a great round for the likes of prarie dogs, chipmunks and other dangerous game like red squirrels. Even if you miss, the felling of the tree may break the critter's neck making for quick clean kills. A shot into one trash pile at the local dump should be good for at least a half-dozen rats, making you the town's hero. Concussion out the front end should be good for a dozen pesky starlings or black birds overhead, making you every farmer's best buddy.
