Shooting is a mental game for a reason - (meaning good shooters hold some idea of what their body is doing making the position for the rifle while they shoot).
If (more like when) you move to a lighter chambering that doesn’t have hardly any recoil at first you are a bit relieved, but if you are observant and shoot them long enough you can easily become less careful because she isn’t going to bite me so I don’t have to prepare as much.
Such is it with my 260, and the creed - mentally it’s a trap you can fall for, especially with tactical shooting where your shooting positions vary a great deal.
At the end of the day you have to create the same foundation for the rifle to recoil into - getting light on recoil can result in you taking less time to position and hold the rifle before you execute… which easily throws your shots.
I’m switching to something a bit heavier just to get my mind right for a while.
You haven't shot any competition that requires rapid fire, have you? Scores went up in HPR when the AR took over.
PS--For once, I agree totally with BigStick.
