[QUOTE="littlebighorn, post: 1863524, member: 112108"] I once went antelope hunting with my friend and his neighbor, who just bought a new 300 Weatherby Mag for the hunt. My friend and I both thought he was way over his head with that blunder bust, but he assured us that he could shoot it just fine. So when we went to check the zero on our rifles we shot first and then handed him his gun. But my friend took the neighbor's gun and pretended to chamber a round, but secretly held the cartridge in his hand. When the neighbor pulled the trigger he almost jerked himself off the bench, even though the rifle didn't fire. He was mad as H#%!@, but we got a pretty good laugh from our little antics! :D In the end the neighbor did whittled down a poor prairie goat, but it took him 8 poorly placed rounds. The take away from that adventure was, most average guys are too recoil sensitive to handle big magnums. I know that muzzle breaks, etc. make a big difference now days, but I still reside much more in the camp of being comfortable with your weapon and accurate with reasonable shot placement. [/QUOTE]
