Yeah pretty close, little bit less recoil than my 284 shooting 162s, not that it's uncomfortable at all but does hop around making follow ups a bit harder.

I'm thinking mainly for the availibility of factory ammo and keeping both my hunting rigs at 6.5s for simplicity.

Might try keep the barrel at 24 inches on this and shoot unsuppressed for a bit
