[QUOTE="358 Guy, post: 1865378, member: 60067"] I own and shoot several high recoiling rifles: 416 Rigby, 375 Ruger Alaskan, 350 Remington mag, a pair of 300 Weatherbys, and a beautiful Ruger No. 1 in 300 Win. mag. I've learned to limit my shooting of these rifles to about 12 rounds at a time. This allows for 4 3 shot groups. (enough for load development) Once I have my loads developed, I only shoot occasionaly to stay familiar with that particular rifle. I shoot more if I have an upcoming hunt planned. I once had the opportunity to fire an 8 bore double rifle that threw 850 gr. lead bullets. The owner of the rifle told me to hang on to it as if someone was trying to steal it. I'm not a large man, but I have never had a problem with recoil, but this thing was something else! I fired it from a sitting position, and at the shot, I found myself looking at the sky as I was laying on my back. ( still had a hold of the rifle though) [/QUOTE]
