i was looking at my guns and ammo and with a 10 pound gun it says the 375 h&H has 55 foot pounds of recoil energy. with a 300 grain bullet. It all depend how much your gun weighs if it weighs 9 pound it will have 10 % more recoil. and if you have a 11 pound gun you will have 10 % less recoil. i hope that could be of some help.
