yea those suck. i did it with a savage 270 with not much eye relief. im tellin ya what, that thing bled for the whole day, lol no lie. it was right in between my eyes. i think i still have a tiny tiny scar from it lol. not a ggood day at the range. i wander if anyone has been seriously hurt by doing that6. maybe even put an eye out, i duhno it just seems like its pure luck i, or yourself, wasnt injured more. i will tell ya another thing, i have never did it again and i doubt i ever will.
