I had a place to shoot in my old shop so test fires were common either as a way to diagnose issues or to satisfy curiosity. In my opinion the big bores were more comfortable to shoot than some of the smaller magnums BUT I found that stock design and fit was as much (or more) of a factor in perceived recoil than the cartridge itself. �Politicians are the lowest form of life on earth.

Don't know what it weighs, but it's a bear off a bench. Doesn't hurt, but feels like it's trying to jump out of your hands. Offhand or from a standing rest, it ain't too bad.
