I've put some rounds through a 300 before, they have some kick, but so does my lightweight kimber 30-06, actually very close in felt recoil between the 300 I've shot, and my -06. The second rate ammo is no doubt not ideal "match" ammo, but for 1/4 price, the trigger time is beneficial. I use premium barnes ttsx bullets for hunting, the seconds are just for cheap plinking. My 06 is definitely a capable round, but my light tapered barrel isn't ideal for target shooting, heats up much too quick. If it had a bit heavier barrel, I'd consider sticking to it.
