[QUOTE="Tidus56, post: 1433389, member: 104495"] For me, I think its either go all out and get the great performance and deal with the kick and cost. Or simply go with a tame cartridge thats nice to shoot and will get the job done under 600. I decided the cost and recoil was worth having the performance. so the 28 Nosler made more sense to me. After shooting a 9 pound 7 RM and a 9.5 pound 28 Nosler (both using same muzzle brake) I decided recoil wasn't an issue after all. Truthfully even with the brake off it wasnt a big deal. The only advantage I could see for me of the 7 RM was brass prices and to me its a hunting rifle how much brass do you need? Also looking at powder who cares if you use 20 grains more? Its a hunting cartridge you'll use 75 shots a year, its just not a big deal. The ballistic advantages of the 28 Nosler out weigh the cost JMHO. With that said I have seen people get the job done with a 243 on a cow elk at 600 yards, that was an epic hunting experience! [/QUOTE]
