[QUOTE="younggun308, post: 4996358, member: 4042"] I’ve had the chance to shoot that exact gun at the range one time. It’s sweet. For me .300 Win Mag is probably the most recoil I can shoot comfortably. I echo the point about shooting heavier bullets. It’s not the same, but I remember my dad’s 7mm Mag with 140 grain soft points was just leaving ridiculous entry and exit wounds on little Southern deer. Felt more appropriate on muleys out West, since bucks weigh in over 200lbs regularly. But if you can’t get 180gr or 200+ grain bullets (and with the long range shooting trends, there ought to be plenty of heavy-for-caliber factory offerings now), another option is to go with a bonded bullet. Federal Fusions aren’t *that* much more expensive than the Federal Powershoks/Non-Typicals. [/QUOTE]
