Savage 99,

Sorry, I should have said shoulder rather than neck.

But I still maintaion that H&H cases do deliver softer recoil than standard magnums in the same rifles. For example I shoot Ruger #1Bs in 300 H&H and 300 WM and I can fire a 300 H&H w/o any discomfort at all, yet a 300 WM's considerably sharper recoil wears me out fast.

The .375 H&H has only has the .375 Ruger Magnum for comparison AFAIK and this H&H too delivers a manageable push rather than the latter's sharper jab.

The most evident difference across the board is case design and this has to be a major -- if not domninant -- contributing factor in felt recoil.
