Hardest recoil would be my 454 Casull with full power hunting loads. Second would be 44 mag. Both out of 7 inch Ruger revolvers. The Casull has a scope, so that tames it a little. The snappiest would be a 2 inch barrel 357 mag with a 5 shot cylinder. But even that snap wasn't as bad as 44 mag for me. But I have large hands and the little grip on the 357 wasn't comfortable.
If you want big but manageable, shoot it a lot, look into 44 mag. Lots of different loads available. And the options for a hand loader are tremendous.
