I like alittle recoil.What gun/load has come the closest to being near your limilt?
For me,the most recoil has come from a Winchester 1300 w/plastic butt plate shooting 2 .oz 4x6 3" duplex loads.The gun was so light it wasn't funny when the trigger was pulled.
10 gauge, pulling double triggers on a SXS; when I was a kid (nut !!!).

My Swarovski 1.25-4X tames it "a little" when mounted.
For "big guns" I’ve own a: 300Win, 8x68S, .45-90 and a .45-100, and a Benelli SBE in 3.5", but the little .350 trumps them all in the pain department. It’s great for carrying, fantastic in the woods, just painful off the bench.
In my Browning BPS 3.5" 12 gauge, my turkey loads are the Nitro Ammo Co's 2 & 5/8 ounce duplex load. A friend who shoots the identical load and identical shotgun calculated the recoil to be almost 85 lbs. I'm not sure if it is 85 lbs but I can tell you that I have had enough after three or four shots from the bench!
