Seems to be a little excessive in power. I have 2 SSK .375/.284 XPs and they are very reasonable in recoil with plenty of power (1 shot 5000# hippo).
I shot JDs .458X2 XP years ago. It was not really friendly to my hands, but then again not is my .45-70 SSK Contender with 500/600 gr. bullets.
I guess power and punishment is in the eye of the (be)holder!
