When the #3's first came out, a couple of my shooting buds got a few and I had a chance to try 'em. The straight grip didn't bother me but the EFFING steel butt plate did. It just beat the shit outta me and that was with factory Rem 405 grainers going out at about 1300 f/s. I still had some Elmer Keith loads for my old #1 and after the dude laughed at me for being a sissy, I dared him to shoot a few of them. Now that was a funny sight! Imagine a 300# gorilla of a guy getting a perfect metal imprint on his shoulder after the rifle recoiled about 130 degrees off the bench. Now that definitely was painful! I laughed my ass off as he almost fell off his seat on the shooting bench.
