Have a light 10 ga single shot, lighter than NEF but not sure of the maker anymore... with heavy turkey loads it still wasn't bad at all.
Wife and I have shot all the way up to 460 wtby.
To this day the horror remains a 378 wtby a friend had.
It doesn't fit the OP question really, as the recoil was manageable totally BUT it hit you so quickly it was brutal there... slow those foot pounds down just a bit and it might be ok.
Broke my buddies shooting glasses in half on the first shot when it shoved something into them, likely his thumb...
I"ve had others that kicked like a mule, a buddies Rem 78 in 06. I"d rather shoot my MK5 300 wtby, both without brakes..
We can keep Larry Root and all his idiotic blabber and user names on here, but we can't get Ralph back..... Whiskey Tango Foxtrot, over....
