Using 1700 as a velocity, then the foot-pounds of recoil energy works out to 15.19 in the 5.3 lb. Model 92. That's more than a .30/06 in the 9 lb. '03 Springfield, which generates 14.42 FPE.
As I mentioned, the upper limit for recoil for most folks is around 15 foot-pounds of kick.
My limit was reached, for sure!
