I have shot a Ruger #1 in .375 H&H. After that. I would NEVER think of shooting one in .500 Nitro Express. After a guy saw me shoot the .375 he decided HE wanted to try it. He did not understand why I stood by him with my hand above the rifle. When he touched it off, it knocked him down. I caught the rifle... BTW - I am 62 and weighed 325 at the time. When I saw the episode I SAW Jims shoulder dislocate. THAT is why it messed up his thumb. The Ruger #1 is WAY too light for really big calibers. The .500 Nitro was built for the 4 barrel drillings to be used for elephants and rhinos. I believe it was unethical to build the .500 Nitro on the #1.
