Haven't checked my zero on the rifle yet, need to make sure it hasn't gotten bumped since my last hunt... Just hate to shoot the .300 Winny very much before the hunt so I start to flinch when I pull that trigger... I shoot a Thompson Encore that you can change barrels, so i have been shooting the 6.5 mm Creedmore, but not the .300 Win Mag... So I hope that is close to the same as practicing, except I know the ballistics is different, so I can't trust the elevation adjustments much... but I think it will cover trigger pull training and such... Anyway I don't have a next fishing trip on the horizon yet, but hope too before ice... Later J
Do you have a lead sled? I usually let my boys shoot the magnums these days but for sighting in and target practice I highly recommend a lead sled. With 50 or more pounds of weight it really helps with the recoil and saves my shoulder and takes care of the flinches. Adrenalin usually kicks in when there is a buck or bull in the scope so I never notice the recoil in the field but at the range the lead sled has been a game changer for me.
