[QUOTE="doverpack12, post: 2660218, member: 57848"] I listened to a great podcast recently from Gunwerks. It was about the 7 PRC but the majority of the podcast was Aaron Davidson walking through his findings with different cartridge capacities and the solo shooters ability to spot shots and make a follow up shot. Cliff notes is really anything over 7 RM (essentially same as 7 PRC but PRC solves some problems) is too much recoil to reliably spot your own shots. Certainly got my attention because I would like to build or buy a lighter weight long range capable mountain hunting rifle in the next few years. I’m not always with someone to spot and taking a shot then having to leave my position to check video before a follow up shot just doesn’t make sense when the animal could be moving or be able to leave my range or sight. I have a 7 STW so it resonated because the majority of the time I cannot spot my shots. Once in awhile with a good position setup and form I can. No brake on mine so certainly would benefit from installing one but then I would never shoot without earplugs, not that I try to now but once in awhile it’s earplug or the one shot opportunity you were going for. 195s at 3050 push me around much more than 143 Hammers at 3350-3650.
