[QUOTE="Country Bumpkin, post: 1512460, member: 92230"] I stopped using my brake about half way through this last summer (once I got through load development). I’m right handed, shooting probe off my pack as a rest, my right hand just barely holds the pistol grip (barely) and my left is used as a rear support for fine adjustments. My shoulder is also just barely making contact, just enough so it’s not free-recoil. So basically I’m allowing the rifle to rest with as little input as possible. This obviously isn't the optimal method to manage recoil very well. Even with my 8.25 lbs rifle, as long as my body and shoulders are square to the direction of the rifle, it jumps up and sets right back into place. I can spot hits for anything past 350 (assuming that I’m maintaining good form and everything is square). I mentioned before that I got sensitive to recoil after shooting RUM’s for a few years. Shooting my 7RM is actually fun to shoot. I’ll put a box of 20 through it and maintain my own level of accuracy from first to last. It wouldn’t be much fun for competition where you are shooting 60-100 rds a day (or more) but I don’t shoot competition - and you already own a bull barreled 308 for that. [/QUOTE]
