[QUOTE="winmag, post: 370337, member: 22166"] Hmmmmmm...........right about now someones gettin out thier fancy recoil calculating formula, and getting warmed up. That someone is not me. But take a 180 gr BTSP fpr example .300 win mag takes between 66.9gr -to-77.5gr to reach 2900fps, depending on the powder you use. .300 WSM takes between 62.2gr -to-76.5gr to reach 2900fps, depending on the powder you use. WSM takes a tiny bit less powder to achieve the same result. Maybe its just a psychologicle thing with a shorter case, but the ones Ive shot seem to recoil just a bit less. Maybe Im weird, but theres a noticable difference even if ever so slight IMO. Then again my cousin has a ''blankity-blankin'' Savage 110 in 30-06 that kicks[B] WAY, WAY [/B]harder than ANY 300mag or 338mag Ive EVER shot! and Ive shot quite a few. [/QUOTE]
