As suggested by some others, exposure to higher recoil over a period of time can cause de-sensitization. I spent one long weekend trying to get a 6 pound 58 Navy Arms Hawken carbine to shoot lee 440 reals with 125 grains of 3f off a bench. Left me with a splitting headache, bruised cheek bone, swollen flip finger, and impressive colors on my shoulder. Since then the only things that seem to kick is my 6lb franchi 48 3” 1/78 oz doing patterns and the 375hh a bolt stalker with 300 sierras at 2600 which puts my pectorals into involuntary twitching at about 20 rounds.
