Mr. Houde:
Many things effect felt recoil. Bullet weight, powder charge, gun weight, personal physique etc. However, a factory 270 or 300 gr load for the .375 H&H is not a fun day at the range with most rifles. If you know about a Ruger No. 1 in .45-70, then you have an idea of a .375 H&H. I always shot my M-70 from the bench with a shot bag/sand bag between the gun and my shoulder.
And I was always glad to finish the session.
There is a reason why you can't find a "shot-out" barrel on .375s...
PS: You can load the .375 with low-velocity cast bullets and have a nice day.
