The biggest rifle I have shot is a 300 WM and the time I shot it, I shot it very well.

I actually like shooting my 308 Norma Magnum. It's not terrible with recoil...just noisy. I've shot 1" groups consistently with it with 180 grain bullets. The 220's were maybe 1.75".

338x 8mmremmag and 300 ultramag .I shoot 1/2" groups with the ultra and around 1" with the 338.

Define big. I shoot a .54 Hawken and a 300 Win Mag. Also been known to sling a few 3" 12 gauge slugs downrange.

Barret .50 BMG. I shot one every day for a week a few years ago. Put about 80 rounds a day thru it. I hated it by the end of that week.

I love to shoot my .300 Weatherby...1&quot; groups all day if I have to but I can't afford the ammo for that! ...<img src=icon_smile_big.gif border=0 align=middle>

The biggest I own is a 300 mag ,but I have shot a 416 rigby and a 50BMG just to see what they were like .

RE: how much can you take?
 
Talking about accuracy I would have to say my .308 if you re wanting to hear about something larger than a .223 or 25-06. A 50 cal wasn't bad in the service if you want to talk some tall bucks. The bolt action Ruger 308 will punch them in at 200 yards witin an inch leaning against a tree. 9x50 scope. Or I have a tack driving .22 at 30 yards. Neihbor has the 7mm which does as well as my 308. Just forget the 45/70, think it tumbles like a 45 when it flies. I haven't had the pleasure of shooting the 300 WSM. They say it is the bomb.

I was at the range yesterday and shot 3 groups of 3 with my 7mm Rem. Mag. at 150 yards.
The worst group was my first and it was about 2 1/2 inches.

RE: how much can you take?
 
What do you consider accurate. My 45/70 BPCR shooting 9in. groups at 500 yrds. or my .300 Weatherby shooting .268 at 100yrds.

I love to shoot my 338 wm, but I think my 30-06 kicks alittle sharper. Can't explain why.
Both are 1/2&quot; grouping guns if I can hold that still.

300wsm 1.5 inches at 100 yards at a bench, but no bag.

BigEd 01-16-2002 08:36 PM

RE: how much can you take?
 
What was real nasty was shooting a prototype .50BMG single shot with NO BRAKE and NO RECOIL PAD! Could still connect accuratly at 600yds.(Longest Distance I Shot It At) Since I don't own a .50BMG, yet! I'd have to say my .300 WIN MAG would be next.

RE: how much can you take?
 
...my ex-338 win mag....but only for about 10 rounds or so...after that, the flinches and jerks....
