I saw a guy cut himself badly on the eyebrow with the scope, while firing prone with a Remington 788 243 and factory ammo. It's not recoilless, guys.
Wow, that took some effort on his part...
Back to the .25-06, love it! Milek's writings were part of the reason I gave the .25-06 a try. My current one has been my mule deer & coyote rifle for ten years now, and in recent years delivered a couple of pronghorn as well. Love the
gentle nudge on the shoulder, quick recovery in the odd case when a second shot might be needed, superb accuracy, flat trajectory at reasonable ranges... Easy to load, easy to shoot. Everything Milek claimed for it.
One of these days I ought to put a 115 Nosler Partition in an elk or a black bear...
Regards, Guy
