I'd say your comparison is fairly accurate, all else being equal (weight, stock fitment, et cetera) moderately heavy .45-70Govt. loads approximate .375H&H (which is also more of a big shove) in my experience. My stoutest loads are a bit more than my .375H&H (which is of comparable weight, but has a little better stock fitment), but they are a good deal more powerful than the Buff. Bore fodder. Only when I load the .375H&H with 350gr. Woodleigh FMJ-RNs and a stout charge does the it get close in the recoil department (terminal performance is a whole different issue).
