[QUOTE="elkaholic, post: 1628024, member: 13833"] As Sherm says, check your mag box length. It sounds like the barrel may be too light for a brake. Of the 3 chamberings you mentioned, the 25 sst will run at 2.860, will have the lightest recoil, and is more than capable of killing anything, at any distance, in your area. Even a 22" barrel would run a 131 at 3150+ and you could add a brake if you wanted to for very mild recoil in say a 4 contour barrel. This would make a nice compact carry rifle The 7ss will run just over 2.9" mag length if you want a little larger bore with a lot more bullet selection. Recoil of course would be more but you could also build it with a 22" barrel and brake it. Max velocity would around 2875' with a 180 in that length or for what you're doing, you could run 140's and be just fine. The 7 Max really needs about 3.1" length to gain full capability with the long bullets and of course recoil would increase recoil slightly over the SS. Where are you in E. Tn.? I have a brother and sister down there. [/QUOTE]
