[QUOTE="PrimeTime, post: 52318, member: 54"] To give you an idea on recoil, yes the 300 Ultra Mag kicks very hard. The local gun shops where I live keep getting rifles in that are essentially brand new, most with less than 20 rounds through them. The reason is that the recoil is too much for most guys to handle. I looked at one the other day, factory Remington that must have weighed under 9 pounds and had no muzzle brake. The recoil on a gun like that must be punishing to say the least. Remington brought this cartridge out as a hunting round in hunting rifles. By hunting, I mean regular walk around, shoot at deer with a light rifle, type hunting. For that purpose, why would anyone want a mule kicker like the 300 Ultra? What practical purpose does it serve? For us long range hunters, it is an ideal case for launching heavy, high BC bullets with enough velocity to reach way out there. I am planning on building one myself. For a typical deer rifle though, which it is used most commonly for, I just don't get it. Imagine setting down at the bench with an 8 pound rifle and shooting 15 or 20 shots! [/QUOTE]
