[QUOTE="budlight, post: 12512, member: 2939"] Recoil - If the rifles are exactly the same. It's just simple math. Bullet velocity X weight give X amount of recoil. You can get some small variation from slow to fast powder as to felt recoil, but it's small. I like big calibers, heavy guns with long barrels, and quality higher powered variable scopes with lighted reticles. I only own 3 bullet diameter guns. .277, .284, and .458 My 7mm is a wonderful gun. Elk can't withstand 175 SPBT at high velocity. I loaned it to a friend for a Colorado hunt and he had the big guy standing looking at him at somewhat less than 200 yards and on a slight downhill. He shot it below the base of the neck in the center of his chest. Him and the friends told me that it blew the elk backwards and down on the ground. It was a done deal and never moved again. The bullet had gone clear though it length wise and blew out a big exit wound out of it's butt cheek. The hydraulic shock was massive. This was out of 28 inch barrel 7mm STW wildcat. So 7 RUM will attain simular speeds. [ 10-22-2004: Message edited by: budlight ] [/QUOTE]
