What you after for it Neckshot? I have a thing for both Brnos and .36-06s!
7x57 is another favourite but I need a Mauser in that!

Owen, that eccentric wharfie chap from Dunedin claims to know a bit about them. I'm surprised he hasn't turned up already.

Thats the reason I have one.
Read Hunter Climb High by Keith Severison as a kid and he used one.
Rex Forrester used them when guiding.He wrote about them.
The Yank magazines did a lot too.
Then you get one and use it and they are ok.
After using a .303 that didn't fit you any rifle that did was going to be good.
They have a bit of recoil but you only notice when shooting paper not animals.
Always reckoned 270 was worse for recoil.

I would not trade my 06 for anything,loaded 110 gr for wallabys 125gr for goats ,fallow and 165 gr reds mainly use 165 on everything now ,kills like hammer of thor

Interested to know if you have much of an issue with POI different projectile weights.
How do you find it say between 125gn and 165gr?

But I never said that

Sorry but i still can't tell the difference in recoil of any non magnum round.
243,223,308,270,280,3006,303,30-30 they all feel the same to me.

Once upon a time I would say "that 36-06 of mine really kicks with 180 gr pills". Now that I use 9.3 x 62 ,375 H&H Mag ,458 Win Mag ,450 x 3 1/4" I know better. I still like the old Parker Hale 30-06 that cost $116.00 45 years ago.Its just not the gun I take out much these days.

You must have fired the worlds hottest .223 loads if they feel in the same ballpark as anything on an -08 or -06 case

I recon noise is the biggest component of "felt"recoil.
Once its ducking loud its all the same.

Rifle Recoil Table

Push back a bit is really all they do. The word recoil only means something when you use a rifle that starts with .4 and is used on the worlds toughest, the ones that want to eat you or stomp you into the dirt.
