I'm 5'10" and 165 and i can certainly feel it in my shoulder after shooting off a dozen rounds of heavier loads in the field sighting-in my .375 and i have pretty good technique, bin shooting since my single digit years. I'm not in pain but i can feel that something went on there, almost like a mild workout ache. It doesn't bother me mind-you and i think the thing about recoil is just not to think about it. Just shoot and don't give recoil your attention.

I do notice the recoil with 270 grain factory loads even though i don't think about it before i shoot. I don't notice it at all with my 250 grain handloads over 64.5 grains of Varget.

From a race of hunters, artists, warriors, and tamers of horses, we degraded ourselves to what we are now: clerks, functionaries, laborers, entertainers, processors of information.
