    I got round to some accuracy testing and was surprised at the results. Both were 6 shot groups at 100m. I played around with the seating depth for both powders but settled on using the same for each....

    Increase powder charge by 0.5 for each load. Shoot a 3 shot group working your way up, rem bering to let your barrel cool down between groups. Take note of the accuracy, you should hit a sweet spot...

    110 barnes or 125-130grn projectiles do drop 308 recoil way down...seriously WAY down.....if you go 110grn route you are nearly turning it into a 243...... recoil should actually be less..... decent...

    For shorter range shooting (up to 150-200m), you can load the 308 with 30-30 type projectiles at 30-30 speeds, recoil is a lot less than full-power 308 loads but still drops animals very effectively.

    Wear a carrier harness / vest, any stiff webbing running over your shoulder spreads recoil nicely.

    I would take Makros offer. Some Tikkas kick like absolute bastards because of stock shape and material, you might have one of those

    That's a rough deal of it mate. If it's your collar bone giving you grief try to avoid shooting prone (lying down). You want be sitting and standing. That way the butt of the rifle isn't sitting...

    I use springer air rifles, the hold technique is to let the front grip slide, artillery hold. Got a forwards & backwards recoil that buggers up accuracy. Done this a few times with the 308, large...

    Biggest way to reduce recoil is reduce bullet weight. Recoil pad, technique, brake etc all good recommendations. Bullet weight will make them all more effective by a lot. Maybe look at the 130gn...

    Get a heavier stock as well. That will soak up some recoil. If it's a range rifle weight shouldn't be an issue. Maybe get one of those 6.5's instead ?
