RE: Poll: Are you recoil sensitive?
No, I am not recoil sensitive.
30-06 with heavy loads is quite tame, comparably. This is a fine cartridge, and there is a reason for its popularity.
Largest cartridge I have shot is a .50 BMG, however, this thing was a little girl when compared to my 45/70 with 540 grain Garrett Loads. (The .50 was a 42 pound sniper weapon, hence little recoil).
Recoil doesn' t bother me that much, but there is nothing that I cannot take with my 45/70, the gun will go through an elephant lengthwise. Best caliber on earth.
