[QUOTE="lancetkenyon, post: 1550222, member: 68875"] I have shot a ton of 6.5CM, 2000+ rounds of 6.5SLR, tons of .260 Rem. All with 140 and up bullets, from 2800 to 2950. With 6# to 16# rifles. I have also shot a bunch of 6.5SS, 6.5SAUM, 264WM, and 26 Nosler. With 140-150 bullets from 3000-3300+. With 8# to 13# rifles. To be honest, there was not a lot of difference in felt recoil in similar weight rifles. Some, yes. A lot, no. The bigger difference is in rifle weight. A 13# .264WM pushing a 140 @ 3250 recoils about the same as a 6# CM pushing a 140 @ 2800. But an 8# 26 Nosler pushing a 140 @ 3320 kicks noticeably more than a 15.5# 6.5 SLR pushing a 140 @ 2820fps. Add a brake to your 26 Nosler, and load a 130 @ 2900-3000, and you should be fine. Heck, my daughter shot my .25-06AI and 6.5SLR for practice a lot. Then used my 10# .300RUM pushing a 175 SMK @ 3400 on her 1st elk hunt. [/QUOTE]
