Recoil isn't much of an issue at least at the levels the Rigby generates with 400 grain bullets, so I don't imagine I'll experience recoil induced impairments for longer shots particularly using 300 grain TSX bullets that I'd likely use for plains game. I find that the .500NE is the extreme outside edge of my recoil tolerance.

Interesting during the BGRC Nationals this year, I shot my 9.3x74R double, my .375 M98, my .404 Mauser M03, and my .450 Jeffery double.

The hardest felt recoil came from the .404 with 400 gr full power loads. I don't load to the competition specs (if they are lesser), just use my normal full power loads, so far anyway.

The .450 DR is quite heavy so does reduce the felt recoil.

A .400 with 300 gr projectiles should be milder as you say.

I think recoil does affect our accuracy no matter what. How much easier it is to shoot a .30 than a .400 even if the rifles have similar accuracy.
