Managing recoil is an acquired taste.

I would rather shoot a standard 375 with a decent stock than a lightweight 300 mag. I have a lightweight custom REM 300 ultramag that is absolutely viscous.Lightweight overbores with large powder capacity do that.It hits you like a fastball and you cannot "contain" it.

The big bores are more like a push and I am assuming the recoil velocity is less and the impulse is spread further over time.Shooting reduced loads helps.When the moment of truth comes I cannot remember the recoil. Your mind simply has higher priorities.

Overbores are fun but big bores are a blast if they fit you properly.As one poster on this forum says--Big Bores and big holes for big animals
