[QUOTE="Mustang72, post: 1599642, member: 109065"] Recoil affects people in different ways and one of the worst things a shooter can do is shoot to much gun for them. Some rifles recoil worse than others even when they look identical. I doubt there are many shooters that can sit down and shoot a 300mag as well as a 223 after the first dozen rounds. I learned the hard way from shooting a mule kicking weatherby mag to much. It was great for hunting with but it brought on flinching during load development and practice. That was before the better pads and brakes. It took me a long time to get over my flinching. There is a reason the creedmoore has become so popular -most people Enjoy shooting them and are more accurate with them because of the light recoil. (No -I don't own one). I love the mags but the older I get the more I just use my 223. The better pads are a great help-but they only do so much. I have no desire to have a hunting rifle with a brake on it. Anything more than a lightweight 300 wm is to much gun for me. I proved everything to myself that I needed to years ago and could care less what other folks think. If you can shoot 50 rounds a week from the big boomers then more power to you. [/QUOTE]
