What are everyone's views and experiences on this calibre as I am looking into getting one but don't know anyone with one
The Winchester is a fine cartridge of .30 calibre. Due to the larger volume of powder burnt and the higher velocity the recoil is more than say the 30-06. The neck is a bit short for my liking but truth be told it never gave me problems. The rifle i owned and used in this chambering was a Ruger No1B that I traded to a dealer the enable me to acquire four collectable rifles. I also traded a vintage Model 1922 Mauser made for the Pan American games and acquired Thre DWM Model 1893 Mausers and my Medwell & Perritt sporting rifle.
If it were not for them I would probably still have the Ruger. Of course powder costs were a lot less then than they are now.
where abouts are you mate might help ,if you are close to yorkshire your welcome to have a crack on mine, i have an old sako l61 the action is wonderfull and i have had lots of comments how nice the rifle is i am glad it was traded to me as it wont be leaving my grip, atb wayne
I have been trying to find some one that has one locally to me so I can have a go and see if I like it (recoil wise)
I have just put in a variation for one having consider the full compliment of .30 and .338 cartridges (like the )6 but the French thing was a pain)
I considered a RUM and the only benefit I can see if the lack of belt
Fireformed brass should headspace off the shoulder anyway
I have a .270 and this appears on paper to be the .30 ballistic twin!
130gr .270 is +1"@100yds, 0"@200yds and -6.5"@300yds 3000fps MV
180gr .300WM is +1.1"@100yds, 0"@200 and -6.4"@300yds 3000fps MV
if you are worrying about recoil then I suspect .30 magnums are not the best option.
only two words to worry about with recoil....eye...relief!
I dont get this surely a gun that smacks you in the eye has an ill fitting stock/ scope more than recoil issue i use a .300 rum regulary, and in the past shot .300 wetherby mags and .375 hollands never had one come near to smacking me in the eye
Where abouts in Hertfordshire are youI shoot mine with a Jet Z compact on the end and don't even notice the recoil.
But it is a Match barrelled Blaser LRS2 which is pretty heavy.. but there are others I know who shoot standard barrels in the Off-Road Pro stocks without problems.

Some people say they kick like a mule yet I have seen young kids and women on you tube shoot them so what is the reality
The muzzle deflector on it made pretty images out of the air in front of you as well. which was nice .
Unless you happen to be on the bench next to you!
I've been three benches down at the BSRC range and watched my cross hair jump a good few inches off aim when a 270 with muzzle break went off. Well that's the excuse I'm sticking to for dropping into the 9 ring on my last shot!
