[QUOTE="J E Custom, post: 166083, member: 2736"] [b]Heavy Hitter[/b] Bounty Hunter had a good idea in the 325 WSM You can use a short action and a 22'' to 24'' barrel in about a #5 taper with a good muzzle brake, this would keep the balance point well back. I blue printed a 325 WSM in a Winchester with a #3 taper and no muzzle brake and recoil was not bad, but the heaver barrel and a brake should tame it way down. And with a choice of 180,200 and 220grain bullets you cant go wrong and you could reload lighter loads . With 180gr factory loads and no break the recoil will be about 25.9 ft/lbs (about the same as a 3006 ) with the rifle weight around 8.0 lbs . Adding a muzzle break should reduce recoil to around 14 or 15 ft/lbs J E CUSTOM [/QUOTE]
