Big Bore 2,
I think they recoil about the same braked or not braked when shot with max loads, or maybe I go numb at that point.

I have shot the Lott a good deal and shot a few Buffalo with it and it certainly kills them, but then so do the lesser calibers...It sure does kick

I had my old buddy George Hoffmans 460 Wby Custom Dakota #1 presentation Rifle around here for several months prior to his untimly death...I developed a great respect for the cartridge..I discovered I could load it down to about 2250 FPS with a 500 gr. bullet and the pressure was probably 38000 PSI and the recoil was about like a 300 Win or 9.3x62 in that huge case..It was an amazment to me..It could be the answer to a lot of questions IMO....An amazing cartridge.
