   More rounds down range is the solution, once bruising subsided. Bit of regular practice and won't know yourself. Try to incorporate using sling, allow rifle to go through recoil pulse and ideally...

   If it is sporterised and not in original you could put a decent suppressor on it, something like a sonic or stealth with built in break

   Check headspace, or get a Smith to do it. Out of headspace will contribute significantly to felt recoil.

   I find both my 303's with original butt plates ok to shoot. The rifle that kicked my butt; or should I say my shoulder... was a Midland 308 with a rubber recoil pad. Holy shite, that kicked like a...

   Probably pay to give yourself a bit of a break for a while, next time get it in really tight on bone wide on shoulder so no movement and recoil absorbs through whole body instead of punching you in...

    I am guessing you were using the hug yourself method with front rest ??? no hand firmly gripping the forestock.if so it would make it worse.

    Shooting from a sitting position can knock the shoulder around a bit, I find it helps to have the rifle higher rather than lower so the shoulder doesn’t have to hunch, I think a straight shoulder...

    Brass, steel or alloy butt plates can be a bit thumpy if you don't pull them tight into the shoulder, a short stocked gun kicks a full size shooter more than a correct fit does, 303s came in short...
