[QUOTE="pyroducksx3, post: 383422, member: 20443"] I was looking at building the gun up in steps. The recoil is bearable but I wanted to put a badger FTE removable brake on so I would enjoy shooting more. I may be able to put that brake on a factory barrel, but I have the t-3 lite with a slim barrel and it seems like a better idea to put on a custom barrel with a more appropriate contour, so then I thought if getting a new barrel why not choose the ideal cartridge. Also I found that when building off a tikka action it is recommended that the factory tikka "bar" recoil lug be replaced with a remington style reciol lug, which again needsa nwe barrel. So it just seemed that the 7mm in wsm , and especially in 7mm saum, would be great choices for the ballistics and in saving on the recoil. 162 gr a-max or other high BC 7mm over 62+ gr of powder vs 200+ gr bullet over 67+ gr of powder. I agree not a huge change but if a new barrel is inevitable then I just want to look at all the options. Thanks for all the different points of view and advice. [/QUOTE]
