It didnt knock me back but the recoil made my arms go up like a foot. After i shot it, it was like i had shellshock or something, my ears were ringing like crazy. My dad told me that his grandpa shot 2 deer at once with it on accident, that tells me it has hella power. Man that was one of the most fun thing I've ever done.

Dude, wear hearing protection next time.

You should shoot my Winchester .300 Win Mag some time. That fucker kicks like a mule. ;)

When I used to hunt, my rifle was a 30-338 Win Mag. It's essentially a .300 Win Mag re-chambered to accept a 338 cartridge (or, alternatively, a .338 Win Mag necked down for a 30 caliber bullet).
