Nope. Started with a 7mm RM. Calculated recoil is about the same as many .30-06 loads, more than some, less than others.

My most brutal rifle, by far, is a non-magnum (.45-70) with heavy handloads. My Browning B92 .44 Mag is hardly a magnum but the steel butt plate makes it pretty hard on the shoulder.

No, I'm not a Ruger bigot - just an unabashed fan of their revolvers, M77's and #1's.

A good .30-06 is a 99% solution.
