[QUOTE="JASmith, post: 1869656, member: 24844"] From post #68 ([B][USER=98673]SpeedGoatShooter37[/USER])[/B] "And you can get 150 grain bullets to 2800 in the 7mm-08, and 140s to 2950." From MidwayUSA for .308 Win we see Federal Power-Shok 150 gr at 2920 and Underwood 144 gr at 2970. That makes these loads indistinguishable in recoil for rifles of equal weight and fit. The Creedmoor will yield a tad less recoil because the muzzle velocity is necessarily less for bullets of the same weight (sectional density counts!). Further, one can go all the way down to 85 gr lead-free bullets if one wants low recoil and flat shooting over the first few hundred yards. [/QUOTE]
