[QUOTE="AZShooter, post: 466405, member: 5219"] Not fluting the barrel adds weight, that's all. More weight less recoil. Your idea to go to a 7mm would be a good one. It is the perfect time to switch as your old barrel is tired. If you compare similar BCs in 300 RUM vs the 7 STW cal the STW has approx 20% less recoil. I used the 168 VLD vs your old 210 VLD for the comparison. Jon Sundra was always touting the 7mms as a better choice due to the less recoil. A mercury recoil reducer adds weight and can help too. A friend put two in his 338 RUM and he says it is much nicer to shoot. The dead mule brand requires a 7/8" dia hole approx 4 1/2 long. Cabelas has a great soft rubbery slipover recoil pad called the Shooter's Friend: [url=http://www.cabelas.com/product/The-Shooters-Friend-Recoil-Pad/740373.uts?Ntk=AllProducts&searchPath=%2Fcatalog%2Fsearch.cmd%3Fform_state%3DsearchForm%26N%3D0%26fsch%3Dtrue%26Ntk%3DAllProducts%26Ntt%3Drecoil%2Bpads%26WTz_l%3DHeader%253BSearch-All%2BProducts%26x%3D12%26y%3D7&Ntt=recoil+pads&WTz_l=Header%3BSearch-All+Products]Cabela's: The Shooter's Friend Recoil Pad[/url] It sure helps when shooting the big guns on the bench. Maybe you can build another 300 RUM. In the meantime as you heal perhaps a killer 6mm or 6.5 would be a good rifle to shoot till you are 100%? [/QUOTE]
