[QUOTE="sable tireur, post: 2711593, member: 27307"] Here is an example of the .338 Norma Mag using one of my loads: [ATTACH type="full"]426865[/ATTACH] [ATTACH type="full"]426866[/ATTACH] [URL]https://robrobinette.com/Gun_Recoil_Calculator.html[/URL] I've built and shot nearly every .338 cartridge except the .338 Federal which I simply don't need. The 18" barrel can be made to work with a substantial loss of velocity. Keeping the rifle light is a mistake in my opinion since you're creating a bunch of recoil. Mine is 9.5lbs as shown above and I certainly do NOT want it any lighter. The load illustrated above uses the 225 Barnes TTSX so it has 1200 ft/lbs of energy approximately at 800 yards. Unfortunately, there are no magic sidesteps in our world which is dominated by Physics. Brakes are brakes and even new technology does not help with recoil reduction. Enjoy the process! :) [/QUOTE]
