I have just recently gotten to fire one of them.
We shot out to 300 yds with it. Not its max range by any means. I must appologize because normally I pay a good deal of atention to the load but on this occasion I did not. I do know it was a 180gr load.
To put it simpy...that is way too much gun for any reasonable person. I am quite good at shooting heavy recoil rounds....this thing is a monster.
That said, our groups at 300 were excellent, one measured at 2", but off a rest this thing beat the dog snot out of me.
My concern with ths round is that there will be a bunch of "wanna bees" out there that think this round will allow them to take shots on game at unreaonable distance and with little or no practice and proficiency with the gun.
My comment to a hunter would be to by a load you can shoot cofortably and practice, practice, practice. I shoot a bunch of 270 and have taken a number of elk and deer with it. I also like a new 338 Ruger that Ihave that I have had some custom reloads made for at 180 grn. They hummmmmmmm.
Hoe this did not confuse you....
Best of luck
