[QUOTE="Mrkdiver, post: 2086266, member: 114623"] I’ve been shooting one, BFR, for 12-14 years, not sure, a long time. They kick bad but if you shoot it enough you’ll figure it out. I do wear gel filled shooting gloves to practice but not to hunt. I’ve also learned to load and shoot 1 shot at a time, with 5-6 shots then stop for 20-30 minutes, it’ll help your shooting. Don’t get in a rush, I didn’t start that way but learned it over time. If you reload it, which I don’t know how I could afford to shoot it if I didn’t, don’t start with hunting loads, not reduced loads but starting loads for the bullet weight, that’ll help. After a year or so, it took that long, I was shooting 2-3” 5 shot groups off bench with 2x leupold. You said 3“ barrel? I wouldn’t touch that one. [/QUOTE]
