Shitpost / Memes Is this an Anti tank round?

Post image

/s (sarcasm on title)

Went to the range with my buddy to try out my fully cleaned SKS and was having a blast with it 10/10.

He wanted to get his rifle ready to get a bear starting sept 1st. So he invites me to take the first shot from his savage 110 in 300wsm. Tells me its a bit strong like the 308win Tikka i have. So i be prepared to shoot it.

HOLY FUCK B'Y !!

Like what on God's green earth is this tf!? Buddy died laughing and i was astonished by the power this cartridge has.

Guys who shoot this, dont knock on my door please. 😭

Brought it with me as a keepsake and as a goal to master it one day.

Hahhahaha that was a good read. No it is not an anti tank round. However I’ll give it to you that stock design and rifle weight matter more than the chambering up to a point. The savage 110 in the wsms stomps pretty good, and a fast recoil, snappy, not a hard shove but a mean fast punch.

My 450 Ackley (little bigger than a .458 Lott and a fair bit more power than a .458 win mag, to say nothing of the wee .45-70 everyone seems to think is a cannon 🤣) dishes out some stout recoil, and humbled me recently. It’s potent but very manageable from standing. But from a bench it is a completely different animal, nothing kicks that hard from standing compared to hunched over a table or prone on the ground.

I shot it a total of 31 times last Friday. This was my shoulder 3 days later 😁😁😁. Worth it, I do actually enjoy it, a bit of a masochist and recoil junkie by admission.

Im 160 lbs and after about 15 rounds my .270 win starts to feel like its bullying me.

That 270 can also have pretty obnoxious muzzle blast, especially from a shorter barreled sporter.

I’m starting to believe that for many guns people are actually more flinchy and otherwise affected by the muzzle blast/concussion than the hit to the shoulder from recoil.

My browning x bolt in .300 Remington ultra mag actually doesn’t kick much, it has a very effective “recoil hawg” muzzle brake. BUT HOLY BLAST WAVE BATMAN. It’s like a miniature 50 cal with that ridiculous muzzle blast and concussion, actually clears a bench off if you’ve got stuff sitting on it sort of like a weaker version of what you see with a 50 BMG clearing a bench top. So freaking loud you feel it in your teeth haha. I made the mistake of shooting that thing with no ear protection. Once. Everything sounded underwater for a day or two after, I think it actually messed my one ear up.

I may take the brake off that one actually. Because, even as this post relays, despite the ugly bruise, your shoulder can take a lot more punishment than your eardrums, or at least it can recover from damage a lot better.

My brother you need to go to the HOSPITAL. like walk straight into the surgeons room and say you need a shoulder replacement. Holy fuck thats brutal. Yeah and dont knock on my door, just take what you want, the keys are under the mat. 💀 /s (sarcasm about hospital part)

I assure you I am fine haha, shoulder is fine, it’s been 8 days and is mostly normal but still kinda yellow bruised. All the blue stuff is cleared up. No pain or soreness whatsoever now.

I’ve had bruises like that before myself. Worst for me is I have a wrecked rotator cuff from an old injury so if I beat it up too much it takes me a month to get back shooting.

u/EcstaticStock499 26d ago

Oh yes that would change things no doubt! Bad Rotator cuffs and detached retinas, two things that don’t play well with elephant guns and 12 gauge single shots.
