[QUOTE="Colin78, post: 1394526, member: 104391"] I've been a lurker on here for a while and had an account way back when but cant figure out what email it was tied to in order to reset the password so here I am with a new log in. Any way question for you fine folks. I'm looking to pick up a Ridgeline and can't decide what caliber to choose. Looking at data on the 300wm, 7rm, and 28 Nosler and just using the data provided on the Hodgeden web page for velocities and using the Berger BC to compare. Looks like the 7rm and 300wm are neck and neck...300wm has a little more energy but the 7rm has a little more velocity when looking out at 700+ yards. The 28 has then both beat all the way around. So for not much difference between the 7 and 300 I'd lean towards the 7 due to much less recoil and less powder. But the 28 really looks good, however I don't like recoil. which I believe the 28 will have plenty of. So my question is those of you who shoot the 28 Nosler and specifically those that have the Ridgeline in 28 how bad is the recoil? how are the CA brakes that come on there rifles? This is the most expensive rifle I have bought and want to be able to shoot it regularly and it not just be a safe queen that only comes out for a hunt every once in a while. If the recoil is pretty substantial even with the brake I will probably just go with the 7 for the reduced recoil. [/QUOTE]
