[QUOTE="El Pablo, post: 3550928, member: 1563"] I looked up the recoil after I shot it. I was using a benelli supernova w/ comfortgrip. Can’t imagine it in a lighter shotgun. “A .458 shooting a 510 grain bullet at 2100 fps out of a 10.5 pound double rifle generates a 53 foot-pound shove of recoil. A 3 1/ 2 inch, 2 ounce turkey load at 1300 fps in an 8 pound pump smacks you with 66 foot pounds. When a cartridge made to kill elephants before they kill you is more pleasant to shoot than a shotshell for 20 pound birds, something is wrong.“ [URL]https://www.fieldandstream.com/blogs/ammunition/2009/03/bourjaily-i-hate-3-12-inch-turkey-load/[/URL] [/QUOTE]
