[QUOTE="WildRose, post: 530103, member: 30902"] Actually it's almost twice the recoil. It lies right around the same as the 280. [URL="http://www.chuckhawks.com/recoil_table.htm"]Rifle Recoil Table[/URL] [URL]http://www.handloads.com/calc/recoil.asp[/URL] It's running about 10% more powder for the same weight bullet; as compared to the .280 Rem. Great round, but if he's having recoil issues due to the neck/shoulder injuries it might be too much. My dad has the same problem (Vet too). He finally had to move down from the 7mm mag he'd been shooting for the last thirty years to the .260 or quit hunting. Heck I had to give him a nice 28g to bird hunt with too because he couldn't take the 12g recoil any more. [/QUOTE]
