the problem with recoil calculators is they simply do not work for beans....Felt recoil is an individual thing, as much as I have shot I don't like the 458 Lott and up recoil..I can shoot them but I sure have to think about each shot and thats not good....

Stock design and a multitude of other things come into play, such as how you feel that day, what position you are shooting from, what powder your using, and mostly how much you shoot during the year, and have you been shooting larger guns prior to shooting the one your shooting now...If you want to be able to shoot a 416 Rem , then shoot the 458 Lott a bunch, then go back and shoot a 416, you will think you died and went to heaven, VIOLA, the 416 has become a maidens caress...
