[QUOTE="sable tireur, post: 2738788, member: 27307"] This should be your primary concern in my humble opinion. Yes the replacements can be a functional improvement but they are not like the original equipment. But, it's your body and you should enjoy hobby. Before I offer my opinion I will tell you that one member in particular has the experience from competition: [URL]https://www.longrangehunting.com/members/jeff-heeg-osoh.111250/[/URL] I enjoy shooting the longer ranges and I have both my shoulders intact so far. ;) Your choices, 28 Nosler and 300 Norma Mag, are fine with the .300 Norma Mag. being one of my favorites. I certainly would look at the recoil of both given bullets and powder necessary for the 1 mile targets. Remember that powder as a component of recoil calculations is often referred to as 'ejecta'. I used the 26 Nosler (which no one discusses anymore) with the Warner 121 gr. Flatline, now 123 gr., through a 30" barrel. Good performance and a milder recoil than the heavier bullets. Then I switched to the .300 Norma Mag. using the Badlands 205 gr. SBD2. Lots of fun but more recoil. I can use the same cartridge/bullet combination for hunting and target shooting. Currently, I'm shooting the 33XC in a much longer barrel with heavier, higher BC bullets. This might be a little on the high side for for what you're looking for. There are several threads available here to read. Enjoy the process! :) You might consider a suppressor or properly designed brake to help mitigate the recoil. :) [/QUOTE]
