.264 Winchester Magnum.
I remember as a kid opening day of deer season one year a dr from Fargo drove into the yard and asked to hunt. Dad politely told him no and he then asked if he could sight in his new rifle he was going to use. He pulls out this beautiful Remington 700CDL in a 264 win mag. I drooled over that rifle the whole time he was there. He loaded it and leaned on the hood of his pickup and cracked one off. The muzzle blast from that 264 blew his windshield out and it was the loudest report I’d ever heard. The pissed off Dr threw the rifle in the pickup box (never even put it back in its case) and drove off. Had to be a long cold ride that morning without a windshield.

Pictures or it didn't happen. I have shot lots of big guns over the hood of a pickup and never once even cracked a windshield let alone blow it out. Some even had brakes. Just to name a few 7MM Rem mag, 300 Win mag, 300 Warbird and it had a brake.

This happened over 30 years ago and no pictures. If you feel the need to call me a liar than have at it.

For me yes a 264. However too much speed so if I do go rifle hunting lt's with a Mark 5 300 weatherby. Would like to also say my 25-20 model 92 but. Db

Kinda surprised there is not more cannon votes I know lots of people that shoot 338s and up or ultamags. But they all probably have a 06 or 270 that is their favorites

I was going to but did not want a list of 40 guns so I decided to stick with the main ones. I did forget to put a (other) in the poll though, so just put it in the comments

seen a 300 win mag blow out a window, the gun was near the end of the hood by the window so it’s definitely something to watch out for
