[QUOTE="brcfo_outdoors, post: 2527544, member: 113623"] Its closer to 2.6lbs which doesn't seem like a lot on its own but that is almost a 15% reduction in recoil impulse. While maybe not huge, I would say it is perhaps more than marginal. Less recoil and a more comfortable shooting experience as a trade off for less kinetic energy but ultimately resulting in similar ballistics (to a given distance) is really a decision only the end user can make based on their own requirements. I do think the vague and unscientific X factor of "shootability" plays a role in why people choose one cartridge over another, and perhaps why the choice to go 6.5 aggravates people who are looking at the numbers. Throw in the proliferation of user anecdotes and general information on the internet, plus the wide spread use in PRS, and the draw is not insignificant. [/QUOTE]
