300 Winchester Magnum To Much Gun!
Well, let me put it to some of you shooters and hunters in a different light perhaps. If your NOT ready for a 300 Win mag, it can be a tough battle at the shooting bench to get tight groups.
However, so can a .270 Winchester if you have never fired a highpowered rifle before or lack the knowledge of shooting a rifle in the first place. Those smaller calibers are easier to shoot yes!
Now having got that off my chest, I can only say that the 300 Win mag has done more than it's fare share at 1000 yard shooting events. I myself perfer a wildcat caliber known today as the
6.5/,284-Norma, it does have half the "KICK" of a magnum at the bench.
However, when it comes to hunting big game animals such as elk, mule deer and moose from a far. The 300 win mag doesn't take a backseat to any .308 or 30-06 in that department. There are just some things a hunter or shooter has to do in order to be able to practice with such a caliber for the sake of getting very accurate with this heavy hitting caliber. The answer is lots and lots of time practicing with small, medium calibers and then extending your time each session with the 300 Win mag. This builds confidence and your body will soon get used to the recoil.
NOW RECOIL is NOT PLEASANT TO MOST OF US CORRECT!
So what can someone do to eliminate all the cheek smacking, tooth loosening, shoulder aching pain I ask you? Well, before you give me a long sermon on the mount, I will simply tell ALL of you to purchase a PAST RECOIL PAD and cut that recoil down by 50% and then you will have a rifle that kicks less than your buddy's .308 or .270. My wife uses one and shoots her .338 model 70 Winchester off the back porch with 210 grain bullets.
