Been shooting the S&W 500 Mag for many years, all I can say is, it depends on the load you are shooting. My 700 gr. at 1250 fps is brutal, and my 275 gr. load is like shooting a hot 44 Mag. I have shot a light weight S&W in 357 Mag, that had a very hard recoil, and I would rather shoot my 500 Mag then the light weight 357 Mag any day.
