[QUOTE="thinair, post: 1583748, member: 109077"] I just ran some recoil calculators and numbers given in here. 1. 162 gr eld at 3148fps, 69gr load gives ~27.3 felt recoil. 2. 180gr at 2750 ~57gr load gives 22.8 felt recoil. Both have close to pretty much same energy left at 1000yards (8000 elevation)... ~1518 vs 1508. 3.Bump it up 180gr to 59.9gr load at ~2850fps and it gives 23.3 recoil. 1636 energy. If you can spot 75% of your shots @1000 with ~27 felt recoil, then my given numbers for 22.8 recoil should be close to 100% (i understand a lot of variables comes in place such a technique etc but talking in relative examples). Putting a can let say mitigates 50%, it puts at 11.4 felt recoil which is basically equals to shooting 7.25lbs .243 Win. (95grain @ 3100) which gives 11 felt recoil according to chuck hawks tables. If can mitigates ~33%, felt recoil is ~15.2 and puts in category of 8 lbs 6.5mm-284 Norma (140 at 2920) felt recoil of 14.7. So i maybe answered my own question? :) Spotting own shots with 243, and 6.5x284 definitely should be possible? Therefore 7mm rem mag with good can should be definitely manageable? p.s. i never shot bolt rifle, only ak47, as i mentioned, collecting info about 1st possible rifle... learning how to shoot targets without spotters up to 800yards, and later one hunting alone. p.s.2. i do have a lot info as i read forums for past 2 years, and watching a lot of youtube videos, just never shot rifle so do not know what to expect.
