[QUOTE="fordy, post: 3064025, member: 120504"] Gday Ok time to derail sorry op but The issue of overgun creating flinching is one that fascinates me I do believe most is in ones heads as I just went through some possibilities ( rifle design aside ) & offered advice for a mates client that is going on a big bear hunt ( brown I believe but I am hopeless on the actual big bears ) He was shooting his 338rum well with 200 ish gr pills & the thought of going heavier ( guides recomdation ) concerned him & the thought of 250 gr plus pills got in his head & before 2 long the 200 ish gr pills were to much as flinch started So back to basics ( & had a backup plan of a 150 ish pill in his 300 Norma ) & my mate got him on the bench & got rifle settled & all ready then got him to close eyes & squeeze off yep he squinted on the squeeze but the felt recoil was very good as "that didn't hurt" & over a series of shots he's shooting well with that 338 again & can shoot better with that due to the way it's set up than the 30 cal & to me that's going to tick more boxes regardless if it's for the big bears or a yote The next stage is getting him to understand a 250ish plus pill is not needed for those big bears & that I'm out of my depth on totally get that as I've got no history with bears but I'm pushing hard for him to show us what can be achieved & I'll cover what I can from testing but still no idea on bears I'm going off buff & more importantly asiatic as cape overall are soft just crankier & the big cats gives us a little insight into killing efficiency but if you don't have a balanced pill to do this we will need to stay with the bigger pills & bigger pills comes more recoil & then the mind games start or potentially start So recoil if managed is not a issue as long as we do our homework Just to give some food for thought & my 2 cents worth Cheers [/QUOTE]
