If you are talking bench shooting I stop at the 30 magnums, off hand or sticks I don't mind my 375 H&H and have yet to shoot enough 12 or 10 ga. while hunting to get there.

My pet rifle is my 9.3X62, and the various .458's and .416's I've shot are within the realm of reasonable. I'ver never tried to find my recoil limit, but an early hot loaded Marlin 45-70 with the curved buttplate came close to mine.

alot of it depends on rifle weight for me. I am very comfortable shooting my CZ in 416 Rigby. but I have a custom 340 Weatherby by Rifles inc that brings tears to my eyes from the bench

20 rounds of 375 H&H and then 20 rounds of 450 Dakota off the bench left me with blurred vision for 5 days. I don't mind the Dakota when I'm offhand but it's a bit much from the bench.

I shot a 458LOTT twice and decided,nothing needed to die that bad.

378 tops the list for me. I�m getting older now so I don�t even shoot the 300 grain bullets anymore. 250gr seem to knockdown anything in North America.
It is better to be judged by 12 than to be carried by 6.

I have enough aches and pain so as it is. If it kicks harder than a 30-06 than I'am not interested in shooting it anymore.
