44mag revolver with max loaded 240's and a 14" 35rem contender with 180's is plenty for me and have any reasonable comfort to shoot several rounds. going from 120's to 154's in the 7-08 encore was very noticable! been a while. still have unfinished load work.....ugh.
those "recoil lovers" should consider long term damage to hands/wrists etc....IF you actually shoot them much. my right wrist hurts now if i try to bend it to it's max position. had a few days a while back where i could not use my hand. a real scare! doctors didn't fully determine, but you KNOW recoil does not help. i can shoot now, but who knows what the future holds.
disable yourself gentlemen. just think how fun handguns would be then. hey....you can always read about it.....
