Been gone for a few days, so I missed this post. Holy Monkey! Did some cruching to put these into perspective for myself and I thought I'd share:
730gr @ 2700fps 11,820 ft-lbs Taylor Knock-out 206
750gr @ 3000fps 14,992 ft-lbs Taylor Knock-out 235

Didn't know how many grains of powder to figure so I plugged in 275 and recoil varies from 135 ft-lbs to 195 ft-lbs, even in a 25# gun. Those are some hairy chested shooting irons.
