In common rifle rounds, what in your mind had the most felt recoil? Obviously things like what the buttstock was and how heavy the rifle was come into play, but I wanna hear your stories that made you go "oooh that was not nice".
For me I've been terrified of .308 ever since I fired a Mauser .308 that had a brass butt plate when I was about 14 years old. Was firing off a bench and that thing felt like it shattered my shoulder. I'm still scared of .308's despite firing them quite a few times since, shooting pigs with them and firing larger calibers.
Childhood trauma can still get you as an adult lmao.
