.45-70 405 grain pill @ 2015 FPS fired from my Marlin 1895.
Just about any load fired from my 7.5 pound Remington 700 BDL/SS .375 Ultra. The 300 grain handloads at 2970 FPS are particularly brutal; Ballistics calculator says 82 ft/lbs at 23.4 MPH.
Some of the mil-surp carbines belt pretty good, too. M44 Mosin with heavy ball, MAS 36, Enfiled No. 5, etc. More rifle design than anything, but still become unpleasant after awhile. But they don't compare to that .375; it actually blurs my vision for a second after firing, and my head starts to hurt after 15 or 20 rounds.
