[QUOTE="Lefty7mmstw, post: 2381361, member: 48043"] yup, my 8# 375 h@h is about 55 lb/ft of recoil with a 300 fmj my 9# 300 rum with a 225 is only 48 lb/ft of recoil and with a 180 at 3400 fps it was only 49 lb/ft my 7rum with a 175 at 2900 fps is only 33 lb/ft recoil... pretty soft in comparison... my 405 Winchester's test loads with a 400 Woodleigh ought to be interesting considering it is a 7# rifle with a steel butt plate developing 55lb/ft of recoil at 22+ fps... I might want to wear a jacket for that one... the recoil force isn't the only comparison though, as the 300 rum with a wound out 180 has twice the recoil velocity that the mildly loaded 7rum does...
