Aluminum ramrod out of a 50 cal muzzle loader with 300gr cast bullets and 120gr of pyrodex. The ramrod hit the 50yd target,don't know where the bullet landed. Flipped me over backwards in my chair at the bench. This wasn't planned.

Without a shadow of a doubt a .416 Remington Magnum in a Remington 700. I've fired All sort's of 458's, 416's, .375's but that Remington was brutal. The stock was all wrong. Close second is my Remington 870 Super Mag with 3.5" Heavy Shot loads. I fire about 3 rounds per season. 2 to check the pattern and 1 to down a turkey. Knocks em down like they got hit by a truck.

Model 600 350 mag. Probably because it fits me very badly.

Rem 700s in 06 kick half again as much as they should.

The 700 plastic 300 RUM is unfun with the factory POS recoil pad.

Oh crap that is funny. Thanks.

Yeah, the big kickers are manageable if you're standing, but from a bench they are brutal. I remember sighting in my .330 Dakota (now sold off), and I recall it bringing tears from time to time during the process.

A Browning BPS with 3" turkey loads or 2-3/4" sabotage slugs in a rifled barrel is a beast from a bench.
My Rem. Model 7 carbine in .350 Rem. Mag. with 200 gr. loads has less felt recoil than most 30-06 165 or 180 gr. loads that I have shot. The Model 7 has a well-designed stock.

savage 340 in 30-30. that particular gun just rang my bell every time i shot it. if i emptied a mag on the bench my nose would be bleeding when done. i always wondered if some how the bore was undersized. i have had probably 10 of the same model and chambering since and none came close to that one. traded it for a lyman tumbler. still have the tumbler 30 years later.
second was a sxs 12 with 3inch mag loads i inadvertently touched off both BBL's at the same time.

Funny that lots of people mention the 3.5" loads as being such high recoil loads.

The thing is, you actually get very little real world difference in a 3.5" load, and a 3" load. But it does kick more. smile

Certainly not enough difference to justify the recoil.

Today I took one shot from a bench with my Benelli SBE, stuffed with a 3.5" COCKKNOCKER of some sort. Blended 5,6 and 7 shot with "goldish" colored hull.

Yup, one shot. Fugg that, it'll work fine.

Two of you said that. I never noticed it with my brothers or buds gun.

The worst thing I ever shot was a T/C Contender handgun in 45-70. It ripped the webbing between my thumb and hand and gave me a blood blister on one of my knuckles after 1 shot. All I know is that the bullet went West.

I think it has to do with the stock design on the rifle. My .243 is perfect.

But, after sighting in that .308, I sold it. Shot about a box of shells in one sitting, and I literally thought I was gonna puke.

Like many others here. Mossburg 500, synthetic stock and some sort of 3.5 Turkey load. Much worse than my 300 Bee or a buddies 458 Win Mag.

No matter how you load them they just kick like a mule.

I do know that they don't fit me and one day will get around to it,but even when loading down to 300 savage loads they just are not fun to shoot.
I have had several try them and they say they kick more than their rifles in same caliber.
They make the 30-378 seem enjoyable.


Ya know, 99s must fit me pretty well because I've shot both a 300sav and 308 in the same session as a 94 Winchester 30-30. I found that light Winchester to be worse than both of the "big" guns. And not by a small margin.

Though my dad hates the recoil from that same 308 worse than his h&r 30-06. The 30-06 is still better than the 30-30.

+1 to the nagant carbines

My 2 308's kick worse than a savage chambered in 338 lupua.

Other than being way to noisy,it was fun to shoot.

My first 458 lott weighed just over 8#'s and wasn't terribly pleasant to shoot even with the ported barrel. The second one was built using a Ruger #1 takeoff truck axle barrel and finished up right around 10#'s. It was much more manageable to shoot.
