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.

Give 338 lapula a shot and 300 wsm is nothing.

Fired 50BMG a few times before and that’s just ridiculous but so much fun. Atleast my buddy’s 50BMG weighed 18 or 19lbs so it didn’t jump too bad and had a break on it. Wouldn’t want to shoot that in a lighter chassis without a break that’s for sure.

Im still a very new shooter and man, im honestly scared to shoot high calibers at the moment. But hey gotta experience it atleast right? XD will try out a lapua magnum sometime soon

Just picking, I generally hate heavy recoil myself. I’ve shot many guns that kick like a mule, but my preferred calibres are 308 and 6.5 PRC for more reach in wide open country.

When I eventually get my bison draw I’ll just be using my 308. Most shots are 100yard and closer where I’ll be going.

Shouldn't this 300wsm be fairly similar to the 6.5PRC? I know they're primary competitors, but haven't shot the 6.5 myself yet.

I don’t find it bad, only shot a buddy’s 6.5prc but don’t have one myself. Want one for sheep and goat hunting due to the flat shooting and speed. I know a few guides in BC that swear by the 6.5 and 7PRC for that kind of hunting.
