The Weatherby recoil is rather sharp from my perspective. It’s not really much more heavy in foot pounds than a comparable bore/bullet weight, but the recoil velocity is very fast. This really became apparent to me shooting the .257 Wby. The crack of the muzzle blast is VERY sharp and the rifle hits back very sharp/fast and seems to catch me by suprise every time, but you realize when the smoke clears that it didn’t rock you back on your feet or subject you to other physical unpleasantness that say a .500NE might subject you to...... Once you get yourself beyond the surprise of the sharp crack of the muzzle blast and fast speed of recoil, they’re really not so brutal. After all, a 100 grain quater bore bullet simply does not have the mass to generate any appreciable shove back into a shooter’s shoulder.
