It depends on the WEIGHT of the firearm and it's ACTION.... these are the factors that contribute most to any gun/load recoil.

A lightweight gun will kick harder shooting 2 3/4" loads than a 8 1/2 lbs gun shooting 3" loads.

What gun are you specifically speaking of ? Is the gun gas operated, does it have a ported barrel or a ported choke tube.... all these are factors.
