Yeah that sucks. I was afraid that I was going to get info like that. You know I really don't think a 300 WM kicks hard at all. I can shoot well over 40 rounds in one session and feel no pain. May slightly sore after that many but it goes away in a few hours.
I've spent a lot of money making this gun shoot into about a 5/8" group at 100 yards and in some cases on a good day she can shoot about a 1/4". Basically 5 shots though just about two over lapping holes.
I wonder how the 300 WM would do if I shot further back. Would the energy be enough to liquify the internal organs if I shoot about 4-5" behind the front shoulder? Would I still have meat damage.
To the above, yes I'm a meat hunter and I like to shoot 1.5-2.5 year old does and bucks.

By all means, shoot low behind the shoulder & front leg, just thru the ribs. Then all you lose are some ribs, which have little meat anyway. This will drop them in their tracks! The bullet will go whistling off into the next county......
