[QUOTE="Fiftydriver, post: 121877, member: 10"] Supermag, Recoil really depends on the rifle weight. In a 40-60 lb rifle like my "Black Sunshine", recoil is a gental roll back into your shoulder and you can shoot the rifle all day long with only a tee shirt without a brake and that is running her hard to the 3500 fps level. I do not care to push things that hard, 3400 is plenty. In a 25-30 lb rifle a I would not think a brake would be manditory but it would be helpful!! In a 15 lb class rifle which is about as you can practically make one you better have a muzzle brake and estimated recoil will be in the 300 Win Mag, 300 Wby range. I should have my lightweight 338 AM up and running soon and then I can report on the recoil. As you said as far as trajectory and energy, I agree, WOW!!! Kirby Allen(50) [/QUOTE]
