I have been shooting .375 H&H, and .50 BMG bolt guns over the years, and recoil has never been an issue with me. This was no different.
One of my sons, who shoots a Hawken, was the one who suggested that when my 70gr charges were hitting well below the target at 60 yards, that I up the charge, as he shoots 90gr out of his rifle with excellent results.
So I didn't think there would be any harm, and I will say, I can find no damage to my rifle.
I will defer to the experts here though, and go back down to 70gr. and start filing on the front sight.
