Shitpost / Memes Is this an Anti tank round?

/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.

I use 3” trueball 1800fps in mine for bear, even use them in my shorty 12” Churchill. They aren’t fun but to have confidence in them and control.

I’ve shot brenekes out of both and they kick like a mule and again I’m confident and in control, but the brenekes are expensive and I can’t just pick them up locally so mainly run the trueballs

Ive tried 3" 1780s fps 1oz in the same gun it wasnt near as bad I feel like weight of shot is really what fucks you up. I saw some 1 1/2oz slug from brenneke, i think id rather not try

My dad gave me about 30 boxes of mixed mystery 12 gauge. When I feel adventurous I take a box out and the maverick 88 and see what my shoulder can take. Some are super soft, some are wild ridiculous things my grandfather put together in the 70's.
