[QUOTE="klallen, post: 135352, member: 431"] In a sporter weight rifle, recoil is relatively stiff, but certainly manageable. Comparison wise, my .270 load using a 130 gr. bullet has recoil #'s around that 17 ft. lb. range. My 7.82 Warbird load, in same weight rifle, using a 180 gr. bullet is in that 47 - 48 ft. lb. range. I hunted for a couple years without a brake and never noticed the recoil in the field. At the range, it never prevented accurate shooting, but you certainly were aware of it more. Had a Holland QD brake installed by 50 and it's a *****-cat now. I like mine a great deal. Expensive cases and dies for sure but once these things are purchased, the hard part's done. I've found mine real easy to reload for with real nice performance potential. Good luck to ya. >> klallen [/QUOTE]
