SAUM
140, 62 powder, 3150mv, 24.3 ft/lb
150 , 62.5 powder, 3050mv , 25.6 ft/lb.

7mm08
140, 49 powder, 2850 mv, 17.9 ft/lb
150, 49.5 powder 2750mv, 18.9 ft/lb
160, 49 powder, 2650mv, 19.4 ft/lb
175, 46 powder, 2550mv 19.9 ft/lb


that take into account gun weight? It might be closer if real world weights are used. (of course we don't know what a Barrett Fieldcraft in a magnum caliber would weight) but the different in Kimber Montanas from a 7-08 to a 270WSM is 17 ounces. (5#,2 oz to 6#, 3oz)

20% increase in weight might make a 20% decrease in free recoil... probably brings ya'lls calculations alot closer together.

Ya'll are probably both right

just a thought
