[QUOTE="bdlesh, post: 1591829, member: 109440"] Maybe this was addressed in another post, if so please forgive me. What about loading lower power/ lighter bullets for magnum calibers? I am thinking I don't have to load to max for every application or at all. I have sho a 7mm mag with light loads a 150 gr. bullets and then 160 gr. at greater power loads. Recoil never seemed to bad, my 45/70 is far worse, yet still not uncomfortable for me. I am wanting to build a .338 mag to hunt elk. I know the 7 mag will do the job......I just need a new gun for new hunt. Kinda like the wife getting a new dress and having 200 pair in the closet.....or maybe I have it all wrong. I also know this is not the answer for all occasions or people. [/QUOTE]
