[QUOTE="cohunt, post: 1780955, member: 94491"] a 180 grain in 300wm isn't really light weight --now a 110 or 130 grain I would consider light weight/fast bullet in a 300 wm, maybe even a 150 class but to address your actual question, I cant tell a difference between a 140 and 175 grain in my 7 rem mag, but I'm comfortable shooting this rifle--- my daughter shoots the 6.5cm, and she can notice the recoil difference between a 110 HH @ 3150 vs. a 140gr eldm @2600 if that helps you---- where I do pick up a noticeable difference in recoil would be if I drop the weight of the rifle I'm shooting it in, most recently I dropped my 8.5 pound 30-06 down to 6.8 pounds (field ready)-- the increased perceived recoil was enough that I installed a good 4 port brake to reduce the recoil [/QUOTE]
