[QUOTE="AZShooter, post: 544407, member: 5219"] Don't forget to consider the recoil. You mentioned the punishment your friend's 30-378 gave you. Recoil calculator: [url=http://www.handloads.com/calc/recoil.asp]Recoil Calculator[/url] You can reduce recoil in several ways. Go with a smaller caliber. A 7mm will have less recoil than a 30 cal when comparing same BC bullets. Make the rifle heavier. Use a muzzle brake. Add a mercury recoil reducer. Even stock shape can help. You get the idea. There is another factor when using hotrods that launch bullets at 3500 fps. Barrel life will be shorter but that is a small price to pay for the added performance. [/QUOTE]
