[QUOTE="Engineering101, post: 760301, member: 63138"] [FONT=Verdana][SIZE=3][/SIZE][/FONT] [FONT=Verdana][SIZE=3]I’ve seen a number of threads recently that say stuff like “but recoil will me more” or “if you can handle the recoil”. Why are we even talking about recoil? A muzzle break will make just about anything shootable by just about anybody. A case in point - my skinny little toothpick of a niece, from 430 yards, used my 338 RUM to knock a 120 pound gong off the pegs and the gong has her outweighed!
