[QUOTE="86alaskan, post: 1553221, member: 75933"] Hope your shoulder heals well. I can vouch for the bullet weight drop advantage. I run a 10lb 300wm sako trg. My long range load is a 200gr eldx at about 3k. Not light recoil by anyone's standards. When I deer hunt, ranges rarely exceed 4 to 500yds. My drop dead point and shoot deer load is a 153gr hammer bullets sledgehammer. I shoot that bullet at almost 3400fps. Even with the high speed, the recoil is a good bit lighter than the 200gr. I attribute this directly to the lighter bullet. People kill elk with 140gr 6.5s. If you run a copper 150gr 300wsm with a brake, you'll he in business out to mid range. [/QUOTE]
