[QUOTE="SWHandldr, post: 2801993, member: 114858"] Not so. My Rem 788 in .308 was punishing my shoulder and flattening primers on Federal factory 150gr spire points. Only a few hundred shots through it since new & I had cleaned the bore meticulously - using my Teslong to check the bore but ignoring the carbon ring at the end of the chamber. Enough that cases weren't releasing the bullet easily. Bolt lift was 'OK' but 20 rounds at the range was enough to bruise my shoulder a little & primers were much flatter than I expected from a moderate weight bullet in a factory load. Cleaned it out with Wipe-Out foam as per The Oregonian & Boomstickin's methods. Rifle weighs 9lbs+ with a fore end full of glass & has a Pachmayr Decelerator pad. Should have been a pussycat with those rounds. It is - again - after cleaning. Makes me wonder how many non-magnum rifles have earned a reputation for recoil cos over decades of use they built up a similar ring. [/QUOTE]
