The recoil is about what you want it to be. Stick with factory loads and it is mild. Add powder and bullet weight and you can probably reach your recoil tolerance limit. With hard cast 420 grain bullets and max charges of RL7, my ported GG makes you careful with shots from the bench 'cause I can only do about 8-10 and I'm done for the day. No sense wasting any. Standing up and shooting at steel is much more fun and pleasant.
