LOL, The first time I shot the 30-378 I was prepared to get beat, I looked at that big case with 120 gr of powder and 150 gr bullet that charts showed at 3449 fps and figured it was going to hurt. Pretty sure I closed my eyes that first time. I was on the ground prone thinking that would be the worst position and I wanted to see how bad it was and if the scope would bite me. BANG... wow, way better than I expected, about like my 30-06 with 180's without a brake. Zeroed in with 2 more shots and the only pain was in my wallet. Neighbor came down from his cabin a couple hundred yards away because it was so loud he thought a gun blew up. Interesting to see the sonic waves when you keep your eyes open! Never shot it at a public range but I bet it would clear it out!

Understand, I normally go to the far side of the range when I shoot. Unbelievably I have never had someone come up and complain to me, they may be thinking it, but not saying it.
