I load one for a friend,don`t own one, but ofcourse have shot his. Loaded with 180gn bullets only, recoil is quite heavy, don`t know what I would compare it too. Maybe my 45-110-500 model 74 Sharps..maybe. I will tell you this,...another friend of mine bought one when they first came out. He has shot a total of 6 rounds through it! First one and only box of factory stuff. Just could not deal with the recoil...and he will not sell it.
