Large Caliber Recoil Chart

For those that handload, test a few suitable powders. Different powders can produce very noticeable differences in felt recoil.
 
My Personal Recoil Measurement:
1. WOW (light 375 H&H)
2. Owie (458 Win Mag)
3. MF (505 Gibbs and Bigger)

I'll stick with my 375 H&H.
 
Wanna add my handgun to this chart? It weighs 5lbs, and shoots a 400gr copper solid at 2526.7fps. Its loaded with 85gr of CFE BLK.
I should've mentioned that. My apologies for not mentioning that earlier! This is using a 10lb rifle for all calibers.

Here's a new chart with several other calibers for those curious.

Nugget here. A guide gave me the nickname as I looked similar to Nugent at the time. Hunting for over 50 years yet I am new to hunting in another country and its inherent game species. I plan to do archery. I have not yet ruled out the long iron as a tag-along for a stalk. I am still deciding on a short list of game. Not a marksman but better than average with powder and string.
