[QUOTE="ceg1963, post: 72253, member: 4159"] Alta Hunter, I strongly agree with Rev on this one. It matters a lot what powder is used. I've noticed that the faster burn rate powders, in the same rifle has a quicker recoil (read more hurtful) than the slower burn rate powders. That's just been my experience. For example: In my .300 WM two charges are most accurate with the 200 grain MK bullet. When using 70 grains of RE-19, I feel the recoil more than when using my alternate load of 74 grains of IMR 7828. Both loads give me just over 2800 FPS, but the RE-19 load is just a bit more accurate. However, I generally shoot more IMR 7828 due to the decreased recoil effect. The slower powder seems to push me not jab me. In my experience, the 300 RUM in two like and comparable weapons (ie 2 Mod700 LSS's), kicks a hell of a lot more than the 300 WM does. While the 300 WSM IMHO is about like the 300 WM when using the same 180 grain bullets. Hope this helps. CG [/QUOTE]
