[QUOTE="MontanaRifleman, post: 1060340, member: 11717"] I agree if you're using the same brake on both rifles. My 300 RUM shooting 230's has a good bit of recoil, but not uncomfortable at all. I have shot another members 338 Terminator LRKM rifle by Shawn Carlock with his large Defensive EDGE brake pushing 300 gr bullets at 3200 fps and it had less recoil than my RUM. Very nice to shoot. The title of the thread is 7 RM vs 300 WM. The 300 WM wins hands down. A 300 WM can be made to shoot with less recoil than a 243 with the right brake, so IMO recoil is not a factor. If someone wants a rifle without a brake, the 300 WM will have more recoil but neither rifle will be pleasant to shoot for any significant number of rounds. My 1st 300 RUM (Sendero) did not have a brake. I shot it with a slip on recoil pad and could shoot it all day. One afternoon I put 50 rounds through it. I shot it on a few occasions without the slip on recoil pad and survived. It was fun to shoot in a sadistic sort of way :) I decided to brake my 2nd 300 RUM to make it more "pleasant" to shoot and to be able to get back on target quicker. It was a good choice. Bottom line is, recoil is not a factor in comparing the 7 with the 300. Both are not pleasant without a brake and both are pleasant with a brake. [/QUOTE]
