The first time I used my 300 Weatherby to shoot at a deer was also the first time I've ever noticed recoil when shooting at an animal. Mine is not a Mark V though, it's a Winchester M70 classic with a 1/2" hard rubber recoil pad that I've since changed to a 1" decelerator. 😀 It's a great cartridge and can be used for just about anything on earth if you choose the correct bullet.

Use Weatherby factory ammo for the best performance, and tipped Barnes bullets are usually accurate in them.
