I shot a 375 one time and a 460 twice. Never again! I also love it when people say recoil doesn't bother them. Go to the range with them and have them shoot that canon a couple times, then load it for them with an empty chamber and watch how much recoil doesn't bother them...
Yes. Recoil bothers me. I can, and have become accustomed to it, but a .375 seems to be my upper limit. Never shot anything above that that I enjoyed. Also discovered if I don't shoot the big stuff very regularly, "becoming accustomed " to it goes away.
I no longer hunt game large enough to require large calibers and even a moderate cartridge seems excessive, recoil wise.
