My 14 y/o grandson took his 1st mulie with a 300 winmag, 265 yds. The scope on his .243 had problems so his dad handed him the winmag. Heck of a story for a 14 y/0. I’ve never shot one.
If a 14 y/o can shoot one and survive I guess the recoil I’ve always heard about isn’t that bad. 265 yards is a helluva shot!
