[QUOTE="86alaskan, post: 1276753, member: 75933"] I'd stick with the 7mm-08. first, you already load for it, so why worry about shelf ammo? second, recoil would be more especially with hand loaded ammo that's probably going to be on the higher side of the loading table. If it's not a long range hunting rifle, and you're worried about range recoil issues, maybe think about a brake, that'll make either option totally worthy. You also have hearing pro all the time at the range, so it won't be an issue with the noise from the brake. I built my wife a heavy savage 260rem, and with a suppressor, it barely nudges her at the range. [/QUOTE]
