I've never been hurt (or hurt too long) from anything rifle or shotgun I've shot from a standing position - 45/70, 458 win, 12 gauge turkey loads, a 9,3 w/ steel butt even a 10 gauge S/S that doubled!
However, the ones I do remember that really hurt seem kinda out of place after reading all these other experiences! A light 20 gauge with a slug shot leaning over the hood of my truck, also a 50 cal ML in same position, a Browning BAR in 30/06 off bench, a 12 gauge 3 1/2" turkey gun sitting at the base of a tree with my shoulder against the trunk, a 50 Desert Eagle right-handed with right elbow locked straight!
