Keep in mind I know nothing about reloading YET.I have just bought a press and will soon have the other necessary equipment.

I see 110gr available for the 308.Are you telling me that with a similar load to what you plan for your 7mm-08,I could have recoil close to a 223? I assume slightly more than with your 100gr bullet but would it still be less recoil than a factory 100gr 243 load assuming same weight rifles?
