[QUOTE="winmag, post: 406838, member: 22166"] True recoil is all science. X amount of powder to push x bullet wt. at x velocity in x wt. of rifle.....too much math.:D Felt recoil is strictly a matter of opinion. I would way rather shoot my wsm loaded hot than shoot any other magnum out there for felt recoil. Ive only shot one 7mm,wsm, and to me felt recoil was noticeably lighter than the 7mags Ive shot. Somewhere between 30-06 and 7mag I would say. All in all, depending how hot theyre loaded, most wsm's feel about that same way to me. I have a limbsaver on mine, and Ive shot them with pachmyer pads too. I will say that the old school wsm's with the hard rubber pad had a bit more thump to them. Ive never shot one with a brake on it, mostly because Ive never known anybody who thought it kicked hard enough to use one. I did see a thread on here a while back where somebody wanted to put a brake on one, but I think the guy had shoulder surgery or something. If you know anybody who has one give it a try. Ill bet youll be pleasently suprised. [/QUOTE]
