[QUOTE="CogburnR, post: 625539, member: 29174"] IDK but I have figured the recoil on mine at over 24#. A 243 has much less recoil compared to a 270WSM. Close to one third the recoil. I calculated it at less than 8# with a 85g at 3300fps. I shoot a 165g at 3000+fps(24# recoil) out of the WSM and an 85g at 3300fps(7.5# recoil) out of the 243. 130's come out over 3300fps(21# recoil). A 243 will push a 100g at 3000fps(8# recoil).I have 2 270 WSM's and 2 243's. There is NO comparison for recoil. A regular 270 has twice as much recoil as a 243. My Kimber weighs less than an honest 8# scoped(6# 10oz bare). Most 243's are heavier. I don't know where you got your numbers but obviously you have not shot a light 270wsm. I have a M70 300WSM featherweight that kicks less with 165's. BTW most times when I get hit is from out of position shots while not holding the forearm in free recoil., None of my loads have less than 20# of recoil.I also have a bad shoulder with a permanently broken collar bone that is not attached that has something to do with it. It doesn't leave a scope cut above my eye it hits the bridge of my nose.My buddy's 300rum doesn't get me but it weighs 9.5+# and doesn't jump as much(over 30# recoil) . [/QUOTE]
