Need more muscle on your shoulder and brace it better. 45-70 300 gr is comparable recoil to 12ga 1oz slug and firing several from my bullpup doesn't even bruise me. And nobody said AR-15 is powerful, I explicitly said it has little recoil but the soy dude in the video started crying like it had somehow hurt him.
The 405-grain solid lead bullet at 1200 fps is hard but tolerable. I ran out the numbers and it appears that there is so much more energy in the 300-grain that I think they loaded it hotter. Probably a good idea not to shoot it any more in the 1886. The momentum is very high. Much worse than a .30-'06. I won't argue over needing more muscle on my shoulder!
I was only making reference to the fact that the LIBERAL MEDIA has ALWAYS characterized the 5.56 mm round as being "powerful." Which is ludicrous, compared to long-accepted military and hunting rounds, which have been interchangeable up to World War II. (The .45-70 Government is called "Government" for the reason that it was specified as a military round. Elsewhere, it was used to take down bison and bear. Maybe moose. Brutal against deer. Even in a ballistic vest, I wouldn't want one coming at me.)
