[QUOTE="bruce_ventura, post: 1032409, member: 34084"] Can't say. You may need to try a broad range of bullet weights to find a node in the barrel vibration. You may not reach .308 velocity, but you'll probably get close enough. If you need to get even lower velocity, try a pistol powder like Trail Boss. If it were me, I would take the time to develop a lower recoil load so that I could train with the rifle and scope without developing a flinch. Then I would switch to a full house load for hunting and re-zero using a lead sled. From a field position with an elk in my sights, I wouldn't even remember the recoil. I do much the same thing with my carry pistol. I train with a 9 mm, and then carry a 40 in the same frame size. [/QUOTE]
