To me any heavy shotgun loads out of a 12 ga has seemed to have a sharper recoil than the .375 H&H or Ruger. The .375 has always seemed more like a heavy push. I know I'm more comfortable shooting a .375 with 270 grain bullets from field positons than I am with a 12 ga shooting even 2-3/4 magnum loads. I know the math doesn't back up what I just wrote but give me the H&H any day over a shotgun.
