Hello,
The recoil from the 460 is very mild what you need to worry abut is the noise and blow back. After you get that under control it is a cream puff. The 200gr. horn. is a little light on big game such as elk.We shot two whitetails this year with the 200gr horn and when we skined them out the bullet did its job but there was frags of the bullet everywhere. They are a very explosive bullet and do what they are designed to do but a bad hit on even whitetail sized game could end up in a long day of traking.The new barns copper is a good choice as well for larger game. The corbon 395 is a hard cast bullet with a flat nose witch means full penetration and a clean hole and the recoil is not a big diff from the smaller 200. But this is only from what I have seen from this round we have taken a 350lb wild boar with the 395s and a complete pass thew and it hits like a hammer.
