[QUOTE="fmajor, post: 320971, member: 20646"] Good point Robbin - thanks! I don't want something that knocks my fillings loose. Recoil isn't generally a problem for me. However, when i'm at the range i'm there to shoot high volume for as long as i can (acknowledging time btw groups for cooling, cleaning, etc). I'd prefer the limiting factor be excessive barrel heat and not b/c i'm black n blue. I can remember a day when i was doing load work-up with my 1st .300 Win Mag. I'd already shot 30-odd hot rounds through it when my reloading "coach" asked me to proof some hot .338 Win loads for one of his customers. I put 'em all down-range nice and tight - maybe only an additional 20-odd rounds. However, that lite-wgt Ruger M77 with those .338 Win hot-loads really kicked the stuffing outta me - especdially after my earlier session with my .300Win! I remember thinking back then that i'd not want to shoot that bad boy any more than i'd absolutely have to! Maybe the .300 Win will be the sweet-spot for me after all.... I'm already familiar with loading for it, what to generally expect ballistically, etc..... Thanks again!!! frank [/QUOTE]
