Most unpleasant for me was a Ruger No. 3 Carbine, crescent butt plate, with full house 45-70 loads.
Both my shoulder, and several fingers of my right hand bled.
Just the snottiest little rifle I ever shot.
That's without doubt true... but what was the load? My son shot his with the same load I was using in my #1 at the time = a 500gr Hornady at 2010 fps! He now has a #1 !
