[QUOTE="Orange Dust, post: 1867282, member: 92702"] This should help give some perspective. As far as recoil is concerned I cannot tell the difference between my unbraked 7mm Weatherby and my RUM with a brake. However, there is much more blast with the RUM. As far as blast goes it sits about halfway between the 7MM and a 30-378. Blast from the 30-378 I had would blow your hat off shooting it. It was intimidating to say the least. Never did really get used to it, but I did the RUM. It's one of my favorite cartridges. Take the brake off the RUM and its worse than a unbraked .340 Weatherby. I think the extra muzzle blast contributes more than actual energy. It is subjective though and YMMV. [/QUOTE]
