[QUOTE="Engineering101, post: 953684, member: 63138"] cc268 This point was made but it was apparently not pointed enough. I have a 338 RUM, 300 RUM, and 7mm WSM and all of them kick way less than my 30-06. This is because they all have the best invention ever for the long range shooter - a muzzle brake. At long range you need every advantage you can get and these rifles will shoot high BC bullets at high velocity. The wind drift of the 300 grain Berger amazingly low which is a huge advantage compared to say a 270 Win with 150 grainers. And if you work on your technique you can even spot your own shots at long range when using a brake. So to me if you think you might go after elk out past 500 yards - get one of the RUMs and put a brake on it. You will practice with it more and be a better shooter for the practice AND the reduced recoil. [/QUOTE]
