I, too, shot a .500 Smith & Howitzer one handed. I used both hands for the rest of the cylinder.
First shot my teeth chattered so hard I thought I chipped them. Clenched them together for the next shot - same result. Held my mouth open for the last few. That was a bit better, but not much.

the new game and parks / Lincoln range is built to shoot up to a 50. Not that it will be on the list of calibers, who knows.

oh yea, i forgot. we'll have to plan a date.
i shot a S&W 460 a few times. wasn't as bad as i thought it was going to be. but was super loud and concussive inside Thunder Alley.
bkoenig:
I shot a .454 Casull once. Then I shot an airweight .357 right after that. The .357 was way more unpleasant to shoot. I also once shot a guy's .450 Nitro Express elephant gun that he was sighting in for a safari. It was stout but easier to shoot than a lightweight .30-06. Grip / stock design and weight have about as much to do with felt recoil as the cartridge itself.
And Rob's Super Shorty with 3" magnums is....interesting.
