More than a 338 RUM is a pretty good amount of recoils. I feel bad for the kids in the shotgun only zones. That' s a lot of recoil for a 12 year old. I never shot slugs off of the bench before. I' ve only hunted with rifled slugs from a smoothbore double barrel. I' m shooting a 300Wby now and I think that has a decent amount of push.
