Default RE: Sako 30/378

According to Hawks, the 30-378 recoils more than twice as hard as a 300 ultra mag.
Actually I did not see the recoil figures given for the 30-378 in the link that you posted.However the recoil numbers given in the chart don't make for a very good comparison due to thevarying rifle weights used in the chart.To obtain better comparisons you need to use the same rifle weights.My point in mentioning the harsh recoil from the trg-s in 30-378 is that my 180gr reloads in my 300ultramag deliver less than 100fps less than the 180gr factory loads that I fired in the trg-s.As such I did not expect to see such a difference in felt recoil.The trg-s balance and stock design do seem to emphasize the recoil of the 30-378 cartridge.
