The Freund Sharps loads I made up were 120 grs. of Swiss 1 1/2 with a 500 gr. bullet using two 1/8" wads over powder as filler. In the 15 lb. Freund Sharps it's very comfortable, and I'm pretty recoil sensitive, so if it wasn't I'd be the first to not shoot it.
Sure not like a .32-40, but less recoil than my 11 lb. .45-70 Hepburn for sure.
