I shot a Texas Whitetail (*about 150#) with my .375 H&H. I loaded a Nosler 300gr. Partition to about 2,500 fps.

I don't recall feeling the recoil but I do recall that when I came out of recoil the deer was nowhere to be seen. (*it went straight down and never kicked). Took me 20 minutes to find it in the tall grass of Texas.
