Factory ammo groups MOA. Most game has been taken less than 200 yards, however did shoot a caribou last year at 290 yards with a 300 grainer. Kind of a "lob shot", like the old M79. The ammo I prefer is the Remington Safari Grade with Swift A-Frame bullets, 270 gr or 300 gr. I recovered slug from a Brown Bear (head shot that wiggled its way down the neck), it retained 97% weight. That is pretty impressive performance. Textbook mushroom.

I have always subscribed to the theory to use the caliber that will kill the largest and toughest critter you may encounter, when hunting what you are really after. So, when after black tail deer, mountain goat, caribou, moose and Brown Bear...the .375 H&H is my choice. (I capitalize Brown Bear out of respect)

As to recoil, I have now limited my range time to 3 rounds to confirm sight in, before hunting. It has always kicked my ass at the range. I can practice trigger control on something a little more tame. I have never felt recoil on hunting shots, but that range time...forget it. After 5 rounds if you are going to keep shooting, you are some kind of gorilla.

Perhaps add some weight to your rifle DinDin. A big suppressor would help and maybe one of those stock-sleeves that allows you to carry ammo on the rifle. I shot off (and often do) about 25 rounds yesterday on the range with no ill effect other than to my wallet.
