In terms of energy, a 12 ga shotgun produces more recoil than a .30-06. If I fire 20 rounds of '06 from a bench, I'll be sore, but I can fire most 12 ga loads (excluding 3.5" offerings) all day and be fine.
Is this because of the lower recoil velocity of a shotgun? There is more energy, but it's distributed to the shoulder over a longer period of time?
