.300 wby compared to 12 gauge??

[Ace15]

What does the kick of a .300 wby feel like compared to a pump 12 gauge (7 1/2 lbs"(870 express super mag)") with 3'' shells of slugs or buckshot? And don't talk about the wieght of the rifle and this and that, beause .300 wby only comes in Weatherby Rifles scoped around 8 3/4 lbs.

If you can handle a 12 gauge then you can handle a .300 wby mag.

Here, you figure it out.

Use 75 grains of powder for the .300 Win and maybe 35 grains for the 3" Mag.

Nobody can give you a subjective openion comparing the two, because everyone handles recoil to a different degree, and stocks fit people differently.

I thought you already asked this question.

Really? Someone better tell Sako to immediately recall their .300 Weatherby rifles.

As well as Remington.

They have a couple of models in .300 Weatherby too.

Correct. And various semi-custom manufacturers like Dakota Arms and Rifles Inc. have also produced rifles chambered in .300 Weatherby.
