[QUOTE="WildRose, post: 1768788, member: 30902"] Not even the best brake will change the part of the recoil equation dependent on powder volume and bullet weight. About 70% of felt recoil is due to the "rocket motor effect" when the blast leaves the barrel and that's what brakes help you with. I don't have a PRC but I shoot the 6.5LRM wildcat runnign 140's around 3,300 and 130's right at 3,400 and I promise you the recoil is much milder than my 300's running 180-210gr bullets with very close to the same powder charge. The 6.5's have successfully taken every game animal on earth for a hundred years including all of Africa's Big Five so in the right hands it will definitely do the job on anything here in N. America. Where I'd draw the line with the 6.5's is probably Bison and the Big Bears, Grizz an Kodiak. The right bullet put in the right place by the right shooter and the 6.5's will get it done. Mind you I'm not recoil shy myself at all. I shoot the WM's and Rum's in 300 and probably my favorite rifle is my .375 Ruger but I'll be the first to admit after dedicating 3 years to shooting just about everything with the .260's including some really large boars that they'll definitely get the job done with less recoil and more economically than the 300's and larger rounds.
