Just curious. I'm going to the range soon to fire my dad's 300 Weatherby Magnum. I've fired a nice range of guns before at the range but not something as large as a 300. Just wanted to know what kind of recoil to expect. Similar to a 30-06? How much more powerful? Also, what would you hunt with a 300? Personally, I feel that here in North America, a 30-06 and down would be able to handle pretty much any animal, but, that's just me. haha
