[QUOTE="JASmith, post: 1868717, member: 24844"] Recoil and effectiveness on game at first appears to be a contradiction. Recall that a 100 gr bullet at about 2900 fps gives about the same recoil as the .243 Win with 100 gr bullets and a 120 gr bullet at 2500 - 2600 fps has about the same recoil as both the 6.5 Grendel and the .243 Win. Both cartridges are very effective game harvesters and are often used by very young, very small, and older shooters. Further, 7 mm bullets in those weight classes and design will perform much the same on impact. So, one can have an effective game harvester with not much recoil. One can load to lower velocities and have less recoil. The only penalties will be in trajectory and maximum range for reliable bullet expansion. Neither is critical under about 200 - 250 yards.
