[QUOTE="Michael Eichele, post: 371692, member: 1007"] That is exactly what I am refering to. For my practice rifle and hunting rifle the recoil is very managable but 2 days worth of shooting 40-60 rounds would suck. Since there are no muzzle brakes allowed in matches, the 260, 6.5x284 and 7mm-08 seem much more user friendly. From a hunting standpoint, of the 260, 7mm-08, 6.5x284 and 308, the 308 running the 208 at 2650-2725 FPS is unbeatable for wind, retained velocity and energy. I will be at the range later after work and will have some actual groups to make some real notes. I will be running 48.0, 48.5, and 49.0 grains at 3.015" just touching the lands. M [/QUOTE]
