[QUOTE="afimedia, post: 807676, member: 68370"] No loss of feeling and I also do not have a muzzle brake on my rifle. Compared to the recoil of a .50 BMG the .300 RUM is a ***** cat. My last range session was testing bench loads - 10 rounds each of 4 new loads - not the least bit sore the next morning. Just make sure you have a good recoil pad and hold the rifle tightly to your shoulder - I mean put some effort into pulling it into your shoulder. I see a lot of guys who shoot heavy calibers who are afraid of the recoil. The biggest mistake they make is they think the lighter they hold the rifle the less it kicks. Hey, if an old fart like me can handle the recoil of a .300 RUM, then surely you youngsters should be able to. But then, I'm an old Marine and I just like big guns. Try shooting a .600 Overkill sometime...a 900 grain projectile at .270 Win velocities! Now that one will ring your bell! [/QUOTE]
