Somebody know the bullet weight/velocity/powder charge vs gun weight for the loads in those videos?
I'm interested in how much recoil it takes to get so many people to lose the rifle.
(I love to watch those, BTW!)

This is off the top of my head, 750 grs, 2500 fps, 170 gr powder, 13# rifle. I don't know what the recoil calculates out at, but it is tremendous, makes a 458 win mag feel like a boys rifle.

That comes to 174 ft. lbs. of recoil energy.

That's enough.
