Home Forums Hunting & Shooting Ask The Gunwriters Arthritic shoulders and recoil.

I have gone to the 7-08 for the same reason of yours. I thought of going smaller but after shooting one the recoil did not bother me that much. The 7-08 has a good range of copper loads (I use the 140 grain Barnes) and remember, if bullet placement is good only one shot is needed. I would take that pin for a good Elk.
