Just saw a video clip of a T/C with a 600 nitro express barrel. On the recoil rating, a 30-06 is a 1.0 - a 600 nitro is a 9.6. When the person, of stout character, pulls the trigger, the new scoped pistol flys from his hand cartwheeling over his shoulder onto the concrete shooting range floor about ten feet behind him. Some calibers are not meant to be shot from a pistol I guess.
