The worst beating I ever took from a long gun was from a 3 1/2" 10ga. H&R shotgun shooting 2 1/4oz. of lead BB's. That has got to be the most rediculous gun ever designed!!! The worst from a handgun was from a S&W 460 shooting full house loads.
I have fired rifles all the way up to 416 Rigby and none were worse than the two above!
