[QUOTE="MudRunner2005, post: 1394558, member: 12995"] You are dead-on with your estimation of the 7RM vs. 300WM. They are ballistically identical with equal weight-for-caliber bullets. The .28 Nosler will be a bit more of a hotrod, and is ballistically equal to the 7mm STW. And yes, even with a brake on it, recoil will still be more than the other 2. I have never shot a Ridgeline, so I don't know how effective the CA muzzle brakes are... But most good muzzle brakes should tame that .28 Nosler down to the recoil of .308 Win without a brake on it. I know both of my Browning A-Bolt II rifles came with the factory BOSS system on them (both 7mm RM) and they kicked about like a .260 Rem without a brake. I used to free-recoil those rifles and shoot cloverleaf groups one-handed at the range (other hand was blocking the sunlight) it was so manageable. The 7mmRM is one of my favorite cartridges, so personally, I don't think you can go wrong with it. [/QUOTE]
