Hi Clark,

Here are some big things I have shot and the recoil:

600 Nitro Express Heym. I felt nauseous each time I shot it and needed a 10 minute rest between shots. Max of 3 shots per day. The muzzle went almost vertical with each shot, and I never dared shoot it off the bench.

.585 Nyati model 70. It moved my shoulder back about a foot with each shot. My max for the day was 10-15 shots and if I wanted to shoot more than 5 shots, I needed to take Tylenol before driving to the range. I could shoot it from the bench reasonably accurately.

.500 Nitro Express double. It does not move my body much and does not have much muzzle rise. I can get off a second shot very quickly. The recoil does hurt a bit but I can make it through 30 shots in a day.

.470 Nitro Express double. Relatively mild recoil compared to the .500 NE.

.470 Capstick and .458 Lott. These are pussycat calibers when the rifle weighs 10-11 pounds and when the stock is properly designed. I can shoot 3 shots touching from the bench, and 50 or 75 shots in a day would not be a problem. But lighter versions of these rifles, or rifles in these calibers with a standard factory stock will hurt.

.416 Rigby CZ550 with hogback stock. Lots of muzzle rise on this one which I do not like in a scoped rifle. Due to poor stock design, this rifle is more difficult to shoot than my 500 NE.

.416 Rem Sig Blaser toy gun. This gun feels queer and recoils in an odd way, although the recoil is really not bad at all.
