[QUOTE="112Savage, post: 1865345, member: 38801"] I have some heavy recoilers: 8.25# 9.3x62 heaviest load 286gr A-frame at 2506fps 9.5# 375 Ruger 300gr Accubond 2675fps after doing load workup with 223 and 300 blackout I find their recoil extremely harsh, but after using them and training myself to absorb the recoil, even shooting them prone is not terrible. I will say however, that my next load workup with a lightweight 300 Winchester Magnum and 190 ABLR's is intimidating. I'm going to start with a ladder test with 8 rounds the first day then shoot 3 shot groups another time limiting my exposure. Working up loads with the 9.3X62 before putting a decelerator pad on, I could only do less than 10 shots per session. After adding the pad I could do 20. Now that I have lost conditioning I'm thinking I would see groups grow after 6-8 rounds. To summarize it depends on what you are used to. Don't expect to go from shooting a 223 to a 338WM or 375 and not notice a difference in your ability to tolerate recoil without it affecting groups. [/QUOTE]
