".....You gotta roll with the punches...."

Exactly! I agree 100%.

I know a Gal about 5'6", 110#, and she can handle 375 level recoil just fine, and, will out shoot most men off-hand.

My advice? Get a good grip on the rifle, hold it firmly to your shoulder, and let your whole body "roll" and gradually absorb the recoil. Most shooter stiffen up, brace themselves "against" the gun, try to keep the rifle from moving as it fires (and the stronger the shooter the more they are able to do that), as a result all the energy is absorbed by the shoulder/contact area (their brain gets a pretty good rattle as well)..... And yes, that can be very painful.
