So maybe I am not as recoil sensitive as I thought. I was running some reoil numbers, and comparing them to the 45 70 i shot for several years. I had a 420 grain bullet running at 1550 fps which according to what I found should be very similar to a 7mm mag with a 160 at 3150 fps. I was able to handle the 45-70 even though I would not want to shoot more than 15-20 rounds at a time, I could keep from flinching.
The only thing I don't like about the 7 mags is that most in my price range have the 1:9.5 twist.

......the occasional hunter wielding a hopelessly inaccurate rifle, living by the fantastical rule that this cartridge can deliver the goods, regardless of shot placement or rifle accuracy. The correct term for this is minute of ego.
