I find the recoil somewhat pleasent and often shoot multiple rounds from the bench with a hot loaded .375H&H.
Speaking from the experience of shooting with H&HHunter (while diagnosing a wandering rear sight on a pre-war iron sighted Model 70 in 375H&H), after putting nearly 50 rounds down range over the space of an hour from the bench with full-house loads, I was nearly at my limit. However, the first 30 or so were by no means unpleasant, and from off-hand or off sticks this is one of the truly joyous rifles to fire. (I have from time to time wondered at H&HHunter's capacity for practical jokes, nonetheless.)
The great wonder of the .375H&H is its marvelous accuracy, straight-line penetration, and true flexibility for the reloader. I have loaded 180, 200, 250, 270, 300, and 350 grain bullets, with velocities as low as 900fps using IMR4759 all the way up to 2950fps using RL15. My wife enjoys shooting the low-velocity loads (as do I!) for general plinking and practicing snap-shooting; to the other extreme, while having watched the effects of hip-to-shoulder transection on elk in the company of the esteemed H&HHunter in years past I am likewise assured that there is not an animal on this continent (nor most others) that would be the equal of this fine cartridge.
That this queen of 1911 is once again rising to prominence through the use of modern powders and bullet construction should bring a warm smile to any rifleman. Indeed, its relative disuse on this continent is a travesty in its own right.
The first shot was called a little low. The remaining were true:
