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.

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.
