[QUOTE="memtb, post: 2859700, member: 75451"] Rich, when I first got my (semi) lightweight .375 AI, in the lightest contour that Douglas offered……a #2 contour I think! I tried to use that technique when developing a load for it! It was kicking the snot out of me and the groups weren’t very good…1 to 1 1/2”. A friend of mine wanted to try it out…..he immediately shot a 3 shot group @ 3/4”, which was better than my groups. Embarrassed and a bit “****ed” I asked just what the heck he did to get that group. He told me that the biggest thing that he’d ever shot was a 30-06, and he was scared of how badly it would kick…..he said that he held on to it with a near “death grip”! With that little bit of knowledge ….I change my technique. My groups immediately improved and the “felt” recoil was substantially less! I can now get sub 2” groups @ 300 yards fairly regular! I guess that you don’t use the same technique on every bull ride! 😉 memtb [/QUOTE]
