[QUOTE="nksmfamjp, post: 2909613, member: 1951"] I’ll admit. I’m confused. Ive shot a lot of 300 WSM….in a 12-14lb gun and some 270 WSM in a Tikka T3x lite. Both were fine.., but there is some recoil there. Not 458 lott, but not pleasant. With a faster twist 270 WSM barrel, you might try lighter mono bullets for better performance and less recoil. I guess the 6.8 Western could do the same. Then you talk about brass and recoil….which makes me wonder why are we not talking 6.5 PRC or better 7-08. All the cool kids may not be talking 7-08, but look at the ballistics. In a custom rifle, you could set it up for a lighter Hammer going 3000-3100fps and be thrilled! [/QUOTE]
