Aside from shooting mostly inertia-driven, or single and double 12 ga’s since I was a teen, with rifles I worked up the cartridge ladder until I landed on the 340 Wby and used it for over twenty years on elk. and other big game. 375’s up to a 458 Lott were in there too. I’m a lefty and do have traumatic arthritis of the shoulder.
Not enough discomfort to deter me from shooting but I’ve definitely gone to smaller ga’s and smaller cartridges.
Getting older with less testosterone, helps with being more reasonable..🙂
