I had my .450 N0.2 NE double on me. Didn't knock me as over tea kettle, but I did flinch for a year +. Stopped me from shooting doubles from a seated rest. I stand now.
A .460 Weatherby from the prone position sucks too, if anyone asks.

Dude, what would you know about it? You don't shoot anything designed after the Industrial Revolution. Heard on an ET Buffler hunt Boom! "Did you get 'em?" "We won't know until the smoke clears and the brush fire I started burns out."

I shoot a 2oz 3" 12 GA load of #4 lead out of my Mossberg 500 at the turkeys. The recoil on it is something like 54 ft/lbs.-- better than twice my 35 Whelen Remington 7600.
One year I shot a round prone at a gobbler in late April, and I was still feeling my shoulder come Labor Day.

It's only 10#'s ?!!!

I've never been hurt (or hurt too long) from anything rifle or shotgun I've shot from a standing position - 45/70, 458 win, 12 gauge turkey loads, a 9,3 w/ steel butt even a 10 gauge S/S that doubled!
However, the ones I do remember that really hurt seem kinda out of place after reading all these other experiences! A light 20 gauge with a slug shot leaning over the hood of my truck, also a 50 cal ML in same position, a Browning BAR in 30/06 off bench, a 12 gauge 3 1/2" turkey gun sitting at the base of a tree with my shoulder against the trunk, a 50 Desert Eagle right-handed with right elbow locked straight!

This was my experience on AR as well. They run the site like a club promoting certain ideas, products (and big ego's).
Anyone who crosses a line, critical of certain product or idea, is hounded and provoked in a tag team manner. Name calling and disrespect all part of the act.
My crime, I was critical of the 600ok. Never the users, just the design parameters. Man, did I ever hit a nerve. I got dumped on big time. I fought back with criticism of muzzle brakes, 2 shot magazines and rebated rims. Pointed out a few 1000's reduction in bore diameter and all issues resolved. I was banned.
I noticed a couple other of the more informed members disappear as well. Never saw anyone banned for bad manners or personal insults. As far as I could guess, it was for opinions contrary to certain moderator or member views.
Website based forums are not a democracy. The owner & moderators can do what they like. I joined several hobby forums and this one caught me by surprise. Live and learn. Fortunately, there is a world of good people and forums to join.
As to most recoil, my 6 lb H&R 12ga with 3 inch magnums is pretty rough. I posted over there many years ago. The guy who designed the .600 OK has an entire posse of sycophants who jump on anyone who disagrees. Any criticism of that redundant, useless, and poorly designed cartridge is for sure verboten. You're not missing anything by being banned from that site.

I shot a .460 Weatherby Mag in AZ at a range north of Phoenix in 1984. I was 22, and it didn't knock my teeth out or bloody my nose.
$5 bought you a round, stood in line to shoot it. A lot more guys bought a round than shot it. They let the rifle "rest" after every 5 rounds. It was an awesome experience.
Owned a Ruger No.1 SS/Lam in .458 Lott. Not a lot of need for that cartridge in IA, but it was fun to watch others shoot it. The rifle had a bbl. that seemed like a truck axle. Not too punishing with a hefty starting weight.
Ruger No. 1 in 375 RUGER in a medium sporter, weighing a lot less than a Tropical will get your attention.
The worst recoiling rifle I ever shot was my Weatherby Ultra-Lightweight in .300 WBY MAG. If you weren't careful, I could give myself a thumb to the nose hard enough to produce tears, and a little bit of blood.
It was all fun.
If there is any proof of a man in a hunt it is not whether he killed a deer but how he hunted it.

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 ! Bob www.bigbores.ca

460 S&W Revolver - what a poor idea.
One day I practiced fast shooting with my 416 Rigby - four magazines of four rounds each in about two minutes.
It wasn't bad while I did it, but my shoulder was deeply sore for a couple of days.
But, they way I feel is the reason to have a DGR is to learn how to use a DGR.
One one occasion the set trigger got the best of me and the scope drove the bridge of my glasses into what used to be the fatty tissue on my nose - a permanent scar was the result, but I don't blame the recoil, I blame the operator.

I know it's subjective but what is the most felt recoil you have experienced? A 6 pound Ruger #3 in .45-70 pushing 400 grain Speers to 2175 fps. It didn't have a recoil pad, just a flat, hard plate.

An original Model 1895 winchester in .405. It has a straight grip, crescent butt plate, and weighs under 7 pounds.

I had one of those, only mine was an upgraded version with a factory (?) recoil pad. However, that pad had fossilized so that the edges flexed, but the center did not ... basically it focused all the recoil energy in an oval about 3/4 inch across and 1.5 inches high. Yeah, I remember that. The other "fun" with that gun was my ammo was all early production factory stuff and each shot was a slight hang fire. I could hear the hammer slap as a separate event prior to the gun going off. Never failed to go off, but always a fraction of delay. That's a hell of a combination if you need to learn how to flinch.

As a rule I have found any Ruger #1 in big calibers unpleasant to shoot. My Ruger in 458 Lott is just unbearable. I have shot lots of big bore up to 505 Gibbs (which is way too much fun)and the Weatherby cartridges as a family are unpleasant. Earlier someone described a rifle as "making his molars bleed" and I have to say that's the way I feel about a 308 Norma Mag I had years ago. It weighed under 7# with scope and was just plain nasty.
I used to go on the AR forums starting in the '90s but the ass***s ran all the knowledgeable guys off. AlbertaCanuk was the last I knew that knew anything for sure.
