Turkey or goose loads. They hold twice the payload of any other shell, including most slugs. I have fired a lot of different slugs and hunting loads and a 3 inch magnum turkey load with 2 ounces of shot is by far the hardest kicking shell I have fired. Other than a 3 1/2 inch magnum turkey load.
My opinion anyway.

No, you're correct Paul. Turkey loads are by far the most brutal load that most people will shoot. Take a look at this chart. It lists recoil by caliber. Look at the calibers that have less recoil than a turkey load. Only the bggest of cartridges will have more recoil than a turkey load. Think Elephant guns.
