[QUOTE="asd9055, post: 2328506, member: 73445"] I have Model 70 in both 300WBY and 300 WM. I also have WBY MKV in 300WBY. The 300WBY has slightly more recoil than 300WM when shooting similar weight bullets optimized for the caliber. Thats because of higher muzzle velocity. If I shoot the same handload in both my Model 70 300WBY and my MK5 300WBY, the recoil in the Model 70 will be slightly higher, because its a much lighter rifle. From the picture, your new 300WM appears to be heavier, so flet recoil should be less. Most my reifles have a brake, and a good pad, so I don't feel it. I use to shoot a 300WBY without a brake for years, recoil never bothered me. But it does bother many I have never loaded anything less than 180 in either. I am not sure if IMR 4064 is an appropriate powder for this caliber. Hopefull someone else will chime in on this [/QUOTE]
