Breaking in my new Shiloh 45/110 and increasing the charge from 96 to 105grs of KIK 2F behind a 530gr Postel greaser was an eye opener of raw power these old cartridges were capable of.Not overpowering but yet I think you'd whip a good ole fashion azz whuppin on yourself if you bench shot 30-40 rds or would feel like you went 10 rounds with Joe Frazier! grin

Hey Woody, You, ET, Jorge, and Sharpsguy are bad habit enablers to the max grin, just today I bought a beautiful little '74 Shiloh Sharps in 45-70.

30" octagon barrel and 10 lbs all up, will be a sweet little hunting rifle, though the recoil wont rate for this thread, just thought I'd let you guys know how habit forming this is gonna get. shocked. LOL

H&R 12ga single shot. Last time I shot one was 1983...won't touch another...ever.


I think this one may qualify as the worst ever?

My 5lb 9oz 9.3x62 shooting JBs load with a 286gr Swift around 2500fps.

Makes my 416 seems pleasant.

Worst thing I've ever shot was the 454 Alaskan revolver (2 1/2" barrel) with full house 454 Casull factory loads.

My first attemp at the .416 Taylor build that weighed 6lbs. It was in a sythetic stock. When shot the stock would flex at the pistol grip then unload on you. It made a 7.5lbs .458 feel like a cap gun. reflex264

Well until recently the biggest rifle I had shot was my Ruger #1 in .375 H&H which was not bad. I recently decided to get a true big bore and bought a re-barrelled H&R in 585 Hubel Express from ED, I've only shot the starting load 650 gr. bullet at 2400 fps, and it is more of a Big slow push not near as bad as I expected. The worst thing ever was a H&R 12ga with 3" slug and no pad.

Worst I had was a double discharge on a .470NE. We were doing our PH dangerous game shooting exam, and both barrels went off hitting the "charging buff" just under the chin in the throat, and square between the eyes 1" below the bosses.
After the initial thump I took , I really lent into the rifle for the second shot which was only followed by a "click".
That rattled the confidence on big bores for a while to say the least.

I think the hardest I got kicked was by a Shiloh Sharps in about 1986. The rifle had a standard weight barrel and weighed 8 pounds. It was a 50-140 and was loaded with 140 grains of 2f black powder and a 750 grain bullet. My nose bled and the whole side of my face and ear went numb.

I'm sure there are harder kicking rifles out there, but that was the toughest one I ever shot.

I spent the afternoon on the bench shooting 375 H&H test loads then 20 rounds of 450 Dakota. My vision was blurred for a week. The Dakota with a 450 gr solid at 2400fps is a pleasure to shoot off hand and very accurate. The worst was a SAKO Safari Delux in 416 Rem. It cut my nose and my eyebrow-twice. It's for sale if anyone wants it. Beautiful gun.

Recommend you get a lead sled for bench shooting. I boxed Golden Gloves when I was in my late teens. Blurry vision not a good sign.

The one I remember the most was an old mod 70 winchester 30-06, steel butt plate. My buddy bought it because it was cheap. We were kids and all excited to shoot a big gun. I had shot a 243 a couple of times before. We both looked at each other with big eyes and said damn that just plain hurts. We did not know much about holding a gun or shooting but we were game to learn. We did not shoot his gun much. We did learn how to hold em.

For me it is my 338/378 KT. shooting a 250 grain bullet. Of off the bench it will rattle your teeth BUT when you have hair in the scope the felt recoil is not felt.
