Too much recoil will take its toll on a body. The worst effect is detached retinas in the eyes. Yes, African game loads are fun, but push it and you cannot reverse the effect. I have not experienced it firsthand, but I have read about it from those who have. Better to err on the side of caution...

I’m from the North Carolina, And always will be! very proud of my southern heritage and people. I’m here just to make money and retire early on some beach on the outerbanks
 
I got into a mania of No 1 collecting and have five of them. They include a 450/400 Nitro Express 3 inch. I have shot it, developed a load that should work and could hit to my rather generous satisfaction. Not fun to shoot and all my shooting work was from a standing rest rather than a bench. Recoil is 'quite enough'.

Others are .257 Roberts (International version), 7x57mm Mauser, .303 British and 9.3x74Rmm (seems to be the European equivalent to .375 H&H). I have not shot the 9.3x74Rmm yet. Don't plan to shoot it. All of them ran in the $1100 and up range. I like them, would sell most of them if someone threw stupid money at me.
 
I have three Ruger No. 1 rifles, and will probably accumulate another one or two. I wish I had bought more of them, when they were more plentiful at nearby dealers. The No. 1 stock design seems to be a really good fit, for me, and I am left-eye-dominant, so, a No. 1 is a good, practical rifle choice, for me.

I have yet to sort-out how to post images.

450/400 is a odd looking cartridge! I missed out on a few 375h$h! about 3 years about #1’s were plentiful and cheap!
