8x57mm rifle
.45 acp pistol. I used to shoot .44 mag just about every weekend but I just don't care to anymore.

You know, maybe you guys could help me with something.
I bought a box of .44Mag rounds once and rented a Smith N-frame .44Mag revolver just to shoot them to say I did it. I was a very unpleasant experience and after the 20 rounds, I had no desire to ever do it again.
So if you were to translate that (handgun) recoil over to a rifle with a full buttstock, what would that equivalent threshold of pain be in a rifle round?

Pistol - 10mm Glock 20-SF Handloaded 165-grain Semi-Wadcutters for GSSF/IDPA/IPSC, & Hornady 165-gr Critical Defense for CCW.
Rifle - .45/70 Marlin 1895SBL I've used Federal Fusion, Federal PowerShok, Corbon Hunter for Hog, and Hornady LeveRevolution.
It seems to prefer the Corbon Hunter, but they're bloody expensive...

.308 and British .303, due to a friend selling me some really cheap reloading powder and very cheap bullets.
Russian 7.62x39 is the round used in the most quantities.
My shooting is for fun, and therefore ammo much above .60/rd. before reloading multiple times (8-10) would make no sense, just to destroy or sink a target from 20-50 yards, maybe punch holes in a Shoot-N-See.

went out yesterday, to the woods, and shot my 8mm mauser with a steel buttplate & full power loads (200 grns @ 2500 fps), my .375 winchester, Marlin levergun (220 grns @ 2200fps) and my .41 magnum Blackhawk (215 jhp @ 1300 fps).
They might not seem to big to some, but they're the biggest & baddest I have, and I love em !! I usually get out 2 or 3 times a month(weekends) and dump a few hundred rounds. When checking accuracy(reloads) I go the range, for fun shoots it's "to the woods"
