No, a braked full bull would tame the recoil considerably. As it stands in my G2 with 10" barrel............it's a handful. But, not painful. Just........a serious handful.

The .445 SuperMag is an AWESOME cartridge! Excellent for medium game with the 240gr XTP right at 2,000 fps and should be stellar for larger game with my hot 325gr WFN-GC loads at 1,700 fps.
