[QUOTE="bigngreen, post: 803942, member: 13632"] I think I can give you a good idea, two of my favorite rounds are a 270 WSM and a 338 RUM and I have Muscle brakes on both, the RUM is pushing a 300gr bullet 2800fps and it's just shy of 13 lbs and the WSM will push a 140 3350fps and it's either 10lbs or 14 lbs depending on which barrel and stock I have on it. The 338 RUM still give you a shove but it's sweet to shoot because it's not sharp and a guy can burn some ammo, if I take the brake of the WSM it's recoil is sharp and I'd say less comfortable to shoot than the RUM but it's braked usually as well and then it's a ***** cat. Just my opinion but if you want something that will step up from your 270 WSM noticeably and compliment it build a 338 Edge or similar, I'm shooting the 165's from my 270 WSM and it'll take apart anything I put it on out to 1000-1100 yards and then if it's blowing hard or I'm wanting to do something with authority I pull the big gun, the two videos contrasted above really tells the story of why so many of use also have a big stick we can pull gun) [/QUOTE]
