I was at the range tonight and shot about ten rounds from the Tikka 30-06 and another 35 rounds from the 45/70. The 45/70 loads produce much more recoil even though both rifles weigh almost the same. The 45/70 loads varied from 420gr down to 300gr. and from 2200FPS to 1800FPS. Well I don't know if old age is catching up or what but I sure felt that recoil a lot more tonight. Granted I'll never shoot that many rounds at game and shooting from the bench is always more punishing, but that never used to bother me.  Don |

It could be that the callous from previous shooting has worn off. You need to take off more to build it back up.
