I have a handi-rifle I am considdering getting a new barrel for in 500s&w but first I would like to find out if anyone can tell me what the recoil is. I have a savage 111 270win that I am comfortable shooting but do not want to get much higher in recoil than that. Is there anyone who can give me an idea on the difference?

There's an old post on this site with a link to Recoil energy..... think 'Neck might have posted it.... I believe the 500 will have over 2x to 4x the recoil of a 270 which is a pussycat........ found it:
