[QUOTE="afimedia, post: 807753, member: 68370"] When the time comes to rebarrel my .300 RUM I, too, plan to install a muzzle brake. I have hunted Africa a number of times and have shot some very large calibers - and I can tell you from personal experience that a .600 Overkill with a muzzle brake is much tamer and even pleasant to shoot, whereas without the brake, it has a tendancy to twist and torque your torso and pound your shoulder in a violent attempt to rip your shoulder off your body. But the thrill of shooting a charging 2000 lb Cape Buffalo at 40 feet with this beast is beyond words and must be experienced first hand. I think I like the .300 RUM partly because of its awesome performance on big game at extended ranges, but also because of the recoil. I know it sounds wierd - kind of like a boxer saying he likes getting hit with a hard right cross - but I have always had a real love for shooting, big, bad guns, and my .300 RUM certainly qualifies.
