54R in a mosin is a relative pussycat for any shooter holding the rifle properly. My 90lbs 13yo daughter shoots my M38 all day long with surplus and no ill effects because she holds the gun properly.
My advice to the OP, tear up your man card and go find something in .22LR. I would also recommend you avoid anything in .303, .30-06, .30-40 Krag, 8mm Mauser, and well, just about anything centre-fire that was not meant for a pistol. Oh and avoid some pistol rounds also, such as .44 Mag or .454 Casul.
DEFINITELY don't buy anything in .45-70, belted magnums, WSM and WSSM rounds, etc.
Or here's an idea - get a shooting coach to teach you proper technique so you can remain a certified member of our entire gender.

what happened? Didn't take your meds today? Chill out. He asked a question . Did you have to go ape shyt?
I hope you're joking because that is just plain stupid.
OP, shooting from a bench rest is likely the most brutal form of shooting stances. There just isn't any give in your body.
When you're standing and shooting your body will deflect some of the recoil by moving back with it. When you're sitting behind the rifle and leaning into it on top of keeping as tight a stance as possible your body absorbs all of the recoil.
IMHO you will find shooting most centerfire firearms uncomfortable and I believe you should get a Past Recoil Pad. They cost less than $30 taxes in.
