[QUOTE="FEENIX, post: 1187504, member: 14204"] Please take no offense but the game we are after does not care about recoil and the economics of the ammo (that's the end user's problem; give your shoulder a break and install a muzzle brake :D) or any cost associated to the hunt, or know what velocity or trajectory is but we owe it to the game to harvest them humanely with the best shot placement and KE at POI, etc ... I fully understand that it boils down to personal preference in chambering and bullet choice for the intended purpose. I also understand that muzzle brakes are not for everyone but today's muzzle brakes are awesome ... they not only reduce felt recoil but also muzzle rise ... being able to spot your bullet on impact is priceless. Most of my rifles have muzzle brakes now; all of my three .300 WM has a felt recoil to that of .243s. By the way, I harvested a MT bull elk in 2013 at 931 yards with 190 Berger, almost identical load on the article, except my MV is 3043 FPS. Just for the heck of it, I tried Hornady's HITS >>> [U][U][URL="http://www.hornady.com/hits/calculator"]HITS calculator - Hornady Manufacturing, Inc[/URL][/U][/U] using the numbers provided in the article. ... and yielded: [IMG]http://i49.photobucket.com/albums/f258/lara3ec/HITS%20140%20Berger_zpsdulgp96e.jpg[/IMG] [IMG]http://i49.photobucket.com/albums/f258/lara3ec/HITS%20190%20Berger_zps4zm6hwj3.jpg[/IMG] NOTE: The velocity used above is MV, not impact velocitym Happy safe shooting/hunting.
