I use to like shooting the big bores. After messing up my shoulder and a few bad disk I have reduced my fire breathers. Now I am going lighter on the recoil I need a #1 in 308 to add to my micro boomers.

Or a 280 Remington!

Already have the 280 covered. Picked up a NIB #1B back in 2020. Still haven’t gotten around to shooting it yet.

You do know I have bled all my big Bees on antelope and elk right? 378 and 416 so far. In fact here is a PD which met its demise from my 416 Bee.

You sure you had enough gun for that critter????

I did learn that the 404gr SH out of the 460Wby are a little too much for whitetail. Blew the bottom open and dumped everything out , quick field dress.

As far as recoil goes let's put it this way. I have owned close to a dozen 378 Bees. One of them did NOT come with a brake. Worst kicker I ever dealt with!
If anyone can consistently shoot this rifle accurately by tuning out the recoil then everything else is like a 30-06.

I’ve shot my son’s 378 with the brake off and it’ll toughen you up
