Thanks Calvin. Yeah, if you can portage a big moose and 1,500lbs of gear and boat across a quarter mile of swamp in nasty wind and driving rain, I can't imagine worrying about the recoil of a .340, which pales in comparison.
I have a shoulder that has been operated on 2 times and needs to be replaced. I am otherwise pretty darned fit. I could handle any of the above, but cringe with the thought of touching off a 340 round. Mild duck loads with a 12 gauge are pretty bad.
