I tolerate 300 mags but dislike 300 Wby's.I dislike 340 Wby's just as much.
I shoot but don't like the recoil of my 300 ultra-it hurts!!

I sold a 300-378 Wby that I had shot without the MB with 200gr hot loads- that sucker was an eye opener!

I like shooting my 500 NE on a limited basis-6-8 shots is fine.I shoot my 458WM without distress.My 416 seems a bit stouter than the 458-

I am guessing its not the poundage but recoil velocity that I dislike about the calibers above--The stocks seemed to fit well.

Maybe its mental-my wife would agree to that!!
