[QUOTE="Lefty7mmstw, post: 717810, member: 48043"] The 375 h@h is on par recoil wise with the 340 wby, the 300 rum, etc in a lighter rifle. My 375h@h is a rem lightweight (8# scoped) and it is very shootable if you can handle recoil. My brother was going on an elk hunt requiring lead free bullets last year and I put him on my 375 to see if he could handle it before he went to the trouble of messing with the 300 win's. Long story short, it literally skidded him back as he fired it out of prone, and he shot it poorly. He ended up doing well with the 300 win's. I tried the 375 prone and did pretty well. I use a 300 tsx at 2550 fps with I4320 under it. Moa or better in good hands. As far as brakes and recoil pads, a pad will knock the sting out of it better than a break will. The gas pressure at the muzzle isn't that high on this round and you need that pressure if the brake will work well. It would help, but don't think you'll get the recoil down to '06 levels. [/QUOTE]
