Yep.

I was shooting my Guide gun at the range one day, testing some Piledriver loads. The guy next to me asks what cartridge I was shooting.

Said I was moving back 18" during recoil. I don't fire many at one sitting. Keeps the headaches down.

I'd much rather fire the PD jrs that run about 100 grains lighter.
