Colt Anaconda, 4" barrel, 45 Colt, 335 grain cast bullets and a bunch of H110. That exceeded my recoil tolerance and I've been paying for it ever since.
Back in 1972 or 73 after I first started reloading, I accidently loaded up too much IMR 4350 in my 300 Win. In my manual, I looked at the IMR 4831 max charge weight instead. Went about 4 grains over. Don`t remember the bullet weight.
Ouch! Got nailed with about a 1/4 circled bloody scope gash above the left eye and damaged the firing pin as well. My smith at the time got a good laugh.

Yeh, I had one of these Synthetic stocks. It would bust you. One shot and a headache all day. I also had a M70 pf in 30-06 that had some kind of problem. Shooting 180 light magnums it did lasting physical damage to the shooter. I've had probably ten '06s, including one that runs less than 6#, and never one that came close to the M70 for brutality.
