[QUOTE="JTB, post: 1979668, member: 97196"] Shooting a light weight 7mm RM is a tall order under any condition but proper load development can be helpful in managing rifle movement/jump. In my experience once I find the right load the rifle should come straight back with minimal lateral jump. With a heavy rifle I can get away with being close but when going light I am much more engaged in load development. You will know when you find the right combination and is generally associated with an accuracy node. I used to think it was the way I was holding the rifle or the bipod but once I have the right load the rifle performs well under most conditions/holds (proper shootings is still important). It may just be me but the felt recoil from Retumbo seem consistently less than comparable powders and may be worth a try. Changing anything on the rifle affecting harmonics will require load adjustment. I am not familiar with Mesa stocks but something like the Manners EH1/JCS Composite are outstanding in helping to manage recoil on lighter builds as well. [/QUOTE]
