I don't mind the recoil of my Lott- it is a Safari grade Mod 70. I have loaded 430 cast bullets, 480 DGX and 500 grain Hornady FMJs.
I killed a bull elk with the 430 grain cast bullets. Also with the 480 DGX but the DGX came to pieces and went off at a weird angle. I wouldn't hunt with that bullet again. Cast bullets are the cheapest and don't seem to foul at all.
