[QUOTE="budlight, post: 484059, member: 2939"] Recoil............. 7MM 175 -180 grain bullets can exceed 600 BC numbers. It takes 210 and over grain 30 cals to get that high of bc numbers. It is kind of required to have a muzzle brake to shoot 30 cal Ultra mags. I owned a 30-378 and shot mostly 210, 220, 240 bullets I had friends that that even with the brake thought that it was unpleasant. My 7 STW is brakeless and a simular 28 barrel. I have loaned it to various people for successful Elk hunts and no body has ever retrieved a bullet. They were all pass throughs. Dead is dead. I believe that there are very few who have the ability and equipment to effectively hunt at extreme ranges. I have never lost a big game animal. I have always had a fear of wounding one and having it run off. So I will not even shoot unless I'm within my self imposed range. [/QUOTE]
