[QUOTE="nevada75, post: 1740685, member: 75285"] PredatorSlsyer - I shoot my Kimber in 260 Rem without a brake. I've made no modifications of any sort from it's factory setup. My goto reload is a 100gr Barnes TTSX over a charge of Varget. The lightweight bullet helps keep the velocity up and recoil less than it would be with 140-160gr lead core bullets. I do give up downrange performance compared to the heavier bullets but I don't consider this my long distance rifle. Recoil is not an issue for me. I mostly shoot on the ground using my pack as a rest, occasionally sitting, and almost never off a bench. After a box of 20 rounds I'm still good to go. My 9 lbs 308 Win with 168gr bullets seems to have more recoil not that it's a particularly hard kicking rifle either. I traded off my 9lbs 300 Win Mag as recoil with 200gr bullets wasmore than I liked, only good for 8-10 rounds before I started flinching badly. Hopes this helps. [/QUOTE]
