I think that is the point those of us who don't own the big bruisers frequently miss.

Reading the posts here has helped me understand the satisfaction some get from shooting big'uns, and I applaud it.

Recoil fatigue is a reality. It might occur after 300 rounds of .556 or 10 rounds of .577. It is relative, obviously, to the smack per round. What I experience with 60 or so rounds from my .375 H&H at a sitting might be what another fellow experiences with many fewer rounds of a heavier caliber. We both enjoy the experience!

All this yap to say that I sure do not consider a guy nuts just because he likes a gun he can only shoot 15 or 20 rounds from before he gets drunk.
