[QUOTE="Bart B, post: 507472, member: 5302"] The big problem with heavy recoil is not what's felt on ones shoulder. It's the great amount of recoil that causes the rifle to move off the point of aim when the bullet's going down the barrel. Shooting accuracy and recoil are inverse to each other. After the bullet's left the barrel, recoil doesn't matter. This is why a .308's much easier to shoot accurately. The above aside, the .308's a 400 yard gun for deer, 300 for elk and 100 for moose.....providing one can place the shot well. [/QUOTE]
