    6 PRC recoil vs. 7-300 NMI recoil. Through the scope.

    I definitely appreciate that offer!! I had full intentions of hunting with my 6 PRC this year. But after shooting it side by side with my 7-300 at 1000 yards, I just couldn't do it. I KNOW it's a capable cartridge and bullet, I just didn't feel like I was giving up anything with the 7-300 at...

    6 PRC recoil vs. 7-300 NMI recoil. Through the scope.

    I have not shot behind a rokstok yet. I like small calibers also, they are a blast to shoot and very capable killers. I would have ZERO issues hunting with a 6mm under a lot of, if not most circumstances. Brakes are definitely brutal, and ear pro is 100% at the forefront of my mind at all...

    Questions for Form and other "small caliber for big game" folks

    Yeah, these were much more trauma than in those photos. But also the meat wasn’t cleaned and REALLY assessed like in your photos. This shot was the follow up shot to the lengthwise ribcage shot. It didn’t hit any bone. “Grazed” the front shoulder before going back into the edge of the...

    Questions for Form and other "small caliber for big game" folks

    Yes in one form or another they did. One was a straight shoulder shot, and the damage was insane. Basically lost the whole front shoulder. The other was a quartering too shot, and make a bad wind call and the bullet ran length wise down the rib cage basically zipping open an 8” hole before...

    Questions for Form and other "small caliber for big game" folks

    What do you think about the TTSX? I've been there for several of my hunting partners kills, around 400 yards, with a 300WM and 180 TTSX, and the wounds "can be" substantial. Is it just that bullet? I'm not a mono fan at all, but just genuinely impressed with the damage of that specific bullet...

    6 PRC recoil vs. 7-300 NMI recoil. Through the scope.

    Muzzle braked 7-300 in my platform is about 16 ft lbs of felt recoil. 7.5lb 6 creed with suppressor is about 11.5 ft lbs of felt recoil. Thats with a 50% reduction with muzzle brake and a 25% reduction with suppressor.

    6 PRC recoil vs. 7-300 NMI recoil. Through the scope.

    No formal training whatsoever for me. I just like shooting. I can shoot out beyond 1000 yards 20 minutes from my house, any time I want. And I really only started with the postional type shooting last year, so that I could be more effective in the field. So that will only get better hopefully...

    6 PRC recoil vs. 7-300 NMI recoil. Through the scope.

    Good question. I think to have equal recoil, the weight would have to be insane. But to have manageable recoil, not so much. I’ll do the calculations in a bit!

    6 PRC recoil vs. 7-300 NMI recoil. Through the scope.

    It’s absolutely easier to spot shots with a lesser recoiling rifle. The small groups thing, is a bit skewed from my perspective, after now spending a decent amount of time behind small and large cartridges. But it’s important to make it clear that I’m not talking about a tikka ultra light in...

    6 PRC recoil vs. 7-300 NMI recoil. Through the scope.

    I absolutely plan to do that as well. Some form of timed mutli shot/position type stuff with the equipment that I normally hunt with.

    6 PRC recoil vs. 7-300 NMI recoil. Through the scope.

    Oh absolutely. I wasn’t testing or trying to disprove any of those things. I was testing for significant POI change in non optimum positions between the two recoiling platforms.

    I only hunt from gravel roads… lol.

    6 PRC recoil vs. 7-300 NMI recoil. Through the scope.

    Yes I intentionally didn’t want a back rest, because I wanted more instability to test POI differences. A back rest for me is night and day with recoil management and stability. I try to find a backrest for when I make coyote stands for sure

    6 PRC recoil vs. 7-300 NMI recoil. Through the scope.

    I need to work on that bipod only positioning. It’s good enough fir stability of the rifle and breaking the shot. But terrible for recoil management. I may just shoot that kneeling as well next. Seated just doesn’t feel like I can get any body weight behind the gun to mitigate the recoil...

    6 PRC recoil vs. 7-300 NMI recoil. Through the scope.

    Absolutely. I wasn’t attempting to disprove anything. I just wanted to see if it affected POI under equal shooting positions that weren’t prone or 100% stable. That 6 PRC is also a pound heavier than the 7-300

    6 PRC recoil vs. 7-300 NMI recoil. Through the scope.

    Thank you! I enjoy watching view through the scope as well. I wish I would have got more hunting on video, but a pretty obtrusive little attachment and is heavy enough that I don’t want to backpack in with it.

    6 PRC recoil vs. 7-300 NMI recoil. Through the scope.

    Haha I’m sure if I ran groups, it would be slower with the 7-300 and the 7-300 hits may open up slightly. But no, I don’t think it’s drastic as it’s proposed sometimes. With a properly weighted rifle for each cartridge/caliber anyways. No worries! The 3-18 has a pretty bold “tree” type reticle...

    6 PRC recoil vs. 7-300 NMI recoil. Through the scope.

    The scope in these videos is actually the 5-25X50 tenmile HX FFP MOA.

    6 PRC recoil vs. 7-300 NMI recoil. Through the scope.

    Yep, just living in California, it's the only option. I would still probably run them on the bigger magnums anyways though. But a 20" 6PRC with a suppressor would certainly be on my radar otherwise.

    No problem! I’ll definitely do more in the future.
