No need to feel that all is lost. I've recently purchased several Big Bores, some with muzzle brakes, some without....crap
If you have a capability to handload, and build some light loads to start out while using the brake, your tolerance will grow quickly. Eventually I took the brake off, pumped up the loads to factory power levels and beyond, and I have no problems.
I often compare this to weight lifting. Nobody but nobody starts out doing a 400 pound Bench Press. Depending on your start point, it may take a year, or several years to build up to that point one added plate to the bar at a time.
You may find that it's not possible to reach your goal of firing a 9 pound 585 Nyati with max loads, but you'll certainly feel comfortable with a lot more than your original starting point.
I've rapidly progressed from 375 H&H, through 416 Rigby, through 458 Lott, through 450 Rigby, and I'm now considering a beautiful 505 Gibbs that member @krish has on offer. A 600gr bullet at 2350fps is the goal.
