Call me a wuss, and that's OK. My .375 H&H is more than enough for me, and it's 9 1/2# with a Decelerator pad. Never did care for recoil. That's why I have so many 7x57s and smaller.
You are no wuss, some like me are just kinda thick-headed.
Ever run up and slap a headlock on a 600lb steer just too see what happens?
