    Recoil 308win vs 7mm Rem Mag

    I'm trying to establish the recoil difference if both a 308 win and a 7mm Rem Mag are loaded with 150gr bullets to 2950 ft/s. If both rifles have the same weight etc. they should produce the same recoil (according to Newton). YET the 308 burns 20%-25% less powder to achieve these velocities...

    recoil diff 308 win and 7mm rem mag

    I'm looking at the difference in recoil between the 7mm Rem Mag and the 308 Win. Assuming that one loads both cartridges with 150gr bullets to a velocity of 2950ft/s and assuming no difference in rifle weight etc. both rifles should have the same recoil (according to newton). Yet the 308...

    Range Report Nosler Ballistic Tip vs. A-MAX 308 Win

    I'm looking to develop a load for my new 308 Win and would like a bullet which is as accurate as the SMK AND which I can use for hunting when the occasion arises. I'm looking to push a 150 -155gr bullet at 2900- 3000 fts and have narrowed my choice down to two potential bullets: 1) Hornady...

    Lothar Walther Palma Match vs. Shilen Select Match - 308 Win

    I want to re-barrel my 22-250 to a 308Win to run 155gr SMK at about 2950 - 3000 ft/s. I have tried to buy a cut barrel (Bartlein or Krieger) however the ONLY two viable choices currently available in the country are: - Lothar Walter Palma Match (Stainless Steel LW50) - Shilen Select...
