John,
Seems that there is at least some consistency with the guys doing this for a living then.

I may have been conservative with the less then 50% comment! The 300 mag in my somewhat humble opinion is probably responsible for more flinching problems then any cartridge in history.

When a guy shoots it good, it's a devastating beast of a cartridge. It is however equally devastating on both ends! Most guys can shot it good to great for a few rounds. I have not come across but a handful of folks that can pound away with it to be as good and comfortable as with a standard round.

I owned a 300 weatherby in my life, for about 3-4 years. Sold it 20 plus years ago and replaced it with this current 30/06. I'm not recoil sensitive, I also have a 9 pound Lott. I am not sure I could say this had I kept the 300 Weatherby and shot as much as I do the 30/06!
