it's a performance/pain equation....
in my experience, just about anybody who shoots a sporter 06 well can handle the winnie...
that simply aint' so with the .300 weatherby..... i myself consider it to be unpleasant to shoot... probably seen more flinches developed with the weatherby than all other cartridges combined... most that i know who shoot a weatherby practice with a P.A.S.T. pad, heavy hearing protection, and a heavy jacket on... and limit the number of rounds that they fire...
the winnie, for most experienced shooters is fun to shoot. there is good reason that it is so popular..... john w
