[QUOTE="J E Custom, post: 1833362, member: 2736"] I ran some numbers on your reduced load in the 7 RM and found a solution for your shoulder issue, Your rifle should have around 15 ft/lbs of recoil with this load. If you wanted to shoot heavier bullets (140 grain @ 3100 it would be 26.2 ft/lbs. A good muzzle brake would reduce it to 18.2 ft/lbs recoil with the 140 grain load (3 ft/lbs more recoil than the reduced load. So if you want to hunt with a heavier bullet, you can do it with almost the same recoil and 130 or 140 grain bullets @ 3100 ft/sec if you use a good muzzle brake. Just something to think about.
