I think recoil is also partly your expectation and conditioning to it. My first bigbore a 460 weatherby- hurt me every time, I was a skinny 20 year old and sold it after a box and half of ammo. Later I got back into 416 rigbys and 500+ wildcats and it didn't bother me. The really big guns you are employing a certain grip to keep the forend down and also the massive bullet torque from the rifling starts to have an effect on your hold too. Then occasionally I'd shoot with someones lightweight 300 and it would really dig into me. I think the different recoil speed or even shape of the stock effected the muscles in a way they weren't used to. Couldn't figure it out exactly.
