My 425 Express and 458 Win Mag both give me more of a pounding than I want!! The solution was to drop 50grs of bullet weight in each and use 70grains of H-4895 in them. With these loads I very rarely recover a bullet and then only from a full raking shot at some distance. Of course this is just my observations on moose and brown bears!

The .416 Rem. Mag. is a real sweetheart in terms of recoil IF your rifle is of proper weight to calibre AND it fits you.

If it kicks, one of the two is not the case.

One other point from looking at the video: You are leaning into it quite a bit, which is good for accuracy. If you are concerned about recoil, set your sticks a bit higher, stand more upright and let it just push you back.

Looked at the video again. You're pretty tall/long arms, etc. Nothing kicks worse than a too short rifle.

It has been said that the slower a powder burns the more recoil you will get so I tested IMR-4831 with H and IMR4831 in my 450-400s, both a 3" and a 3.25 gun, and I found that to be true in both guns..The 4350 recoiled less and I could tell it. My point being it should apply equally in bolt guns..

I cannot tell any difference in my 404 and 416 Rem with 400 gr. bullets at 2400 FPS..but we have to admit that big bores do hammer all of us, and anyone that disagrees with that needs to visit his shrink as his Labido is run away and he has become a legend in his own mind!

Practice, practice, practice is the difference in big bore shooters. Shoot a lot of off hand and stay off the bench once you have got it sighted in..that helps..Pull the gun into your shoulder hard with the trigger hand, and just snug with the forearm hand enough that you don't get the bounce or thump, whatever you want to call it..shoot off hand to practice, if you can hit off hand, you can hit with any kind of a bush rest, and under any circumstances..If your good off a bench and don't practice off hand you probably ain't much of a shot!
