The 45-70 with max loads and 4-500 grain bullets wil get your attention. Not much worse than a 454 casull in a revolver though, which is quite a bit more than .44 mag level, had a .308 barrel with a brake on an encore, it`s a bit more recoil than that, but never shot it without the brake. A handload of IMR trail boss and 405 lead bullets makes for a fun day of plinking, and then a hot load varget when you want more. Have you considered the .375 JDJ ?
