[QUOTE="LouBoyd, post: 371298, member: 9253"] Recoil will be more than a 30-06, less than a 300 Win mag with the same weight bullets. The light barrel and short action keep it compact and easy to carry. The light weight means it will have more recoil. You should get about 3025 fps with 90% SAAMI max loads with 150 grain hunting bullets (Hornady SST for example). The 165 grain Partitions with 60.5 grains of RL-17 should give around 2950 fps with a 90% SAAMI max load. That would give about 1750 fps and 1130 ft-lbs energy at 600 yards. This rifle is plenty for deer and even elk at practical hunting ranges for a light sporter rifle. [/QUOTE]
