I hear what you're saying. Perceived recoil is just as much about the blast, as it is about the sensation at the shoulder.


Own and shoot all four of the above. The 6.5 Creedmoor has noticeably less recoil and muzzle blast than the other three.

It is much closer to the .243 in felt recoil than 7-08, and has less blast than the ,243 in similar length barrels.

What could be a sadder way to end a life than to die having never hunted with great dogs, good friends and your family?
