I'm thinking someone should have "over-thought" the specifications involved with the building of your rifle just a little bit....weight is your friend, not your enemy (unless you are 10 years and under or 70 years and over)
Is there a slight chance you may have causes and effects reversed?
[i.e. the problem is the rifle (not the cartridge) and not you?]
And the recoil sensitivity epidemic rolls on, and on, and on
ELKCAMP. Yes you are right. The weight factor added alot to my flinching. But that is also a part of the prob that needs rethinking. FASTER FASTER, LIGHTER, LIGHTER, NEWER< NEWER. It is almost a mantra in the gun mags. Plus I was quite macho until I hit 40. Now I am just tough and stringy
