[QUOTE="QuietTexan, post: 2379388, member: 116181"] Not a 7 RUM, but I would say a 180gn in a 30-06 hits me harder than a 300 RUM with a 210gn bullet. My 9# A-Bolt shooting factory loaded 180gn SSTs knocks my jaw together hard enough to make my teeth hurt after shooting 5 rounds, the 300 RUM pushing 210s at least as fast but at 12# is pleasant enough I can shoot 50 in a range session. I think powder burn rate has something to do with it, there's no way 3# of rifle weight makes as big a difference as it feels like, especially because loading factory 150gn SSTs in the A-Bolt I can hammer away with it. 7mm Rem Mag is still the most uncomfortable rifle I've ever shot. It was my cousin's factory Win 70 and was just an absolute beating. Recoil is such a subjective thing, it's bizarre. My braked 15# 338 LM pushing 300 gn Sierras is absolutely plush compared some hunting rifles, even though on paper it's double the recoil energy. [/QUOTE]
