[QUOTE="el matador, post: 1175152, member: 12193"] If you're shooting the same weight bullet it doesn't make any difference. Bullet weight, velocity, powder charge, gun weight, and muzzle brake will determine recoil. The big thing here is shooting high-BC bullets. A 180 grain 7mm bullet is going to be fairly heavy and have a high BC for that caliber. To get a similar BC from a 30 caliber you'll need to get up around 210-215 grains and that means a bunch more recoil. If you get a good brake on there and finish at 9 lbs it should be comfortable to shoot either way. [/QUOTE]
