I don't understand why people think that a 300 ultra is such a monster. I've shot several of them in everything from a rem 700 to a browning a bolt and they just don't kick that bad. I mean you don't want to go plinking with them, but for that matter I wouldn't want to shoot that much with a 270 either
Its just your more of a man than the rest of us.
I am not putting down the round. I have made some incredible shots up to 600 yards. But 37ft-lbs of recoil is quite a bit. I bet I have shot 2500 rounds thru a 300RUM. You get some nice 200gr matchking loads kicking at 3150fps, you can feel thump.
I had to be in the mood to shoot it.
I currently am working on a 300Win mag, and am surprisingly getting 3100fps with 180gr BT. I can't say it has near the thump. I can shoot it all day.
