[QUOTE=".222 ND, post: 2287925, member: 32535"] I used to shoot a 338 rum with 180’s back before dialing became popular. I had those nosler ballistic tips going somewhere just under 3600 fps and recoil wasn’t a problem. Then the heavy bullet dial it up deal came into fashion. I mounted a leupold mark 4 and loaded up some 250 grain matchkings. I headed for the pasture and was going to sight in my new load. I set up a target and drove back aways to touch one off and see how close my bore sighting job was. I stuck the gun out the window and rested it on the mirror. My cousin who had never shot a centerfire rifle before, was sitting in the passenger seat and looked like he had just seen an alien when I turned and asked him if he wanted to try shooting it. We both laughed and swore the two drivers side tires came off the ground when I shot the rifle. He asked if all deer rifles kicked like that and I said not hardly. I was shooting a standard bdl with a light stock and no break. Without a doubt, weight makes a huge difference on foot pounds of recoil. [/QUOTE]
