All this time I thought you were standing in those sig pics

I had to PS out the bricks

So that recoil sissys can show thier buddies thier big super magnum while failing to mention they use sissy loads because they cant handle the recoil. Its the best of both worlds.....big super mag they can brag about, but sissy recoil that they can handle.

Good enough Do you think they switch the boxes? Probably have their wife go buy it for them too...or they get up to the counter puff up their chest and loudly proclaim "I'm buying these for the wife."

I don't do well with high recoil...I'm Not a sissy, nor an idiot that likes to beat his head a against the wall because it feels good either.

I'm much more deadly with a 257wby then I ever will be with a 300mag

anyone can get beat up by recoil

the real test of a man is how much poundage they have on their bows

72

Does your wife let you borrow her gun?

You shoot Texas deer with 72#? Isn't that overkill? Everyone knows it can be done with 40#

No need for that kind of overkill. Pretty sure the Injens didnt even need that much to kill Tatonkas.

No. I just need to make sure I have one foot forward and one foot back so I dont lose my balance.

Thank you Chris I forgot that one.

no problem

Take note of the OPs name! Indisputable evidence I'd say.
Couldn't have been better timing lol

they'd run them off cliffs.

haven't you seen dances with wolves.

28 arrows per buffalo isn't an effective method

I have been shooting one for 5 years. Do alot of long range hunting in NC. Never had one walk away from it. With the muzzle brake it kicks like my .308, Shoot 150 grain reloads and it does about the same damage as my .270 but if I wanted(wanted not saying I am trying) I could drop one at a 1,000 yards. I say if you want to shoot it shoot it, your paying for it not others.

Anything less than overkill is underachievement!

But for the little TX deer. My .250 savage is my go to gun.

Why take a cannon to a street fight when a switchblade will suffice?

I've been shooting a .300 ultra mag for years and love it. The only time recoil is a problem is when you're sighting it in. I've gone for 9 years before pulling the trigger on a big buck and when I do I want him to go down. That last deer was a 162 2/8" 8 pointer and I shot him at a measured 300 yds. Took him with a .358 shooting times alaskan. He didn't go anywhere but down. I don't think there is such a thing as "too much gun".

I'll be using one at one place I hunt as a consequence of a project in progress. The goal is to see if nitriding will affect accuracy as some claim-plus adding longevity. And to that end, I bought the least-costly Savage small-shank barrel I could find for the test. It was either .300 RUM or .375 H&H, and the RUM lends itself better for the test.

That said, being mindful of the barrel-burning reputation of the round, I have shot nothing but PL I and II ammo (24 rds. total, to date) to burnish the bore prior to nitriding. If part of the goal is increased barrel life, there's no need to wear the bore any more than necessary at this stage nor buy the costliest ammo for break-in.

After it's nitrided, I see no advantage to using a watered-down load nor this caliber for WT.
