Yup, back when I was younger my buddy got a very light Single shot H&R 12 ga. 3.5 inch and two boxes of turkey loads. I believe I shot it twice.
My Ruger #1B that I had in 7mm Rem Mag wasn't too bad, nor was my same rifle in 30-06. When I put a Limbsaver on both of them I was VERY surprised, as well as pleased.
I don't care for the recoil of a .44 Mag in a SA revolver, but the same loads in a Ruger Super RedHawk don't bother me at all.
I ain't shooting another .454.....Unless it's with Ruger only .45 Colt loads. Or ported.
