      Every bone in your hand and wrist broken? I carry a .45-70 rifle when I hike and it kicks like a mule.

      EDIT: This is what I carry (Marlin 1895 SBL). Same ammo. Notice the slight size difference, and this is meant to be compact and easy to carry.

        Had a friend that had a single shot, it was basically a tube with plastic stock. I shot it once. It left a bruise. Any big cartridge I’ve shot since has been from a heavy gun.
