It was set up with a scout scope, so I didn't have to worry about a scope in the eye. But what made it actually hurt, is it was shooting from the prone.

Jon. A word of advice. When shooting the biggies, stand on you hind legs and shoot lik a man. They don't hurt as much that way.
I can do maybe 5 from a standing bench rest with either the .416 or .404 and probably three from the sitting position since my shoulder went bad. A standing bench rest is set up so you get bench rest steadiness and the easier effect of recoil where the body as kind of go with the flow.
Prone might be more accurate but the fact that the body can't give can cause problems from rifles with stiff recoil.
