The British army had to get a lot of men up to handling rifles competently in a vey short time at the start of hostilities and one of the difficulties was than many men had no experience with a rifle at all, let alone the less than comfortable military stocked 303 Lee Enfield. Flinching was a real problem and one trainer found that he would get those worst effected to fire a round or two from a 50 cal browning and the 303 seemed quite mild in comparison so the flinch quickly dissapared.
I usually take my 404 Jeffery to the range when I go for a play and a round or two from it gives perspective and makes relaxing into the shot for my other rifles much easier. When I was doing load testing with the 404 from the bench I could get up to 45 full power rounds away (no lead sled, just a past pad and concentration) before having to give it away till another day.
Flinching can be overcome and I found simple concentration to be the best "tool for the job".
