You will NOT enjoy shooting it. A muzzle break brake will help a little but you will be deaf in 5 years. LOL

I have.338wm and.300rum so I'm not recoil sensitive. We ended up epoxying a hydraulic recoil tube into the butt of the stock which helped a bunch. We ended up with 180 grain Bergers at close to 3200fps. It will shoot them into 0.50" if you do your part.
