rcathey if you like recoil try full power loads from a 460 Weatherby Magnum in its standard stock with 500gn projies that should cool the recoil bug for at least a few weeks I did 4 rounds out of my mates one before he had a dead mule fitted and a custom stock on the 3rd round I forgot to have my yap ajar sure as heck I tasted enamel after touching that one off.
"The performance level of the Weatherby cartridge comes at a cost: recoil. The recoil of the .460 Weatherby Magnum is severe. The cartridge generates close to 100 ft⋅lbf (140 J) of energy. This is in keeping with Newton's inescapable Third Law of Motion: Every action has an equal and opposite reaction. As performance levels rise, so does the recoil. Put into perspective the recoil of the .460 Weatherby is 120% greater than the .375 H&H Magnum, 50% greater than the .458 Winchester Magnum and 20% greater than the .458 Lott."Information
