I hate to say this but drift is right. I have shot a 30-378 and the recoil is like a heavy loaded 338RUM and much more brutal than my 300RUM or any slug gun I have shot. With my 300RUM, I am at my limit. Its fun, I can handle that amound, I can shoot it 30 rounds with no problems. But I can't say the same about a 30-378. I can shoot slugs all day (if I can afford) with a semi, but shooting from a 870 pump is tough.

Like I say, If you can handle the recoil, and can afford it, have at it. It ain't my dime or shoulder, or barrel, so who am I to say its bad.
