It shoots just as flat. It recoils the same or less
Total B.S. we have already proven that the 7mm-08 shoots flatter.A quick calculation will also prove thatthe 308 does produce more recoil with the same weight rifle.But feel free to continue living in your fantasy world.
"Flatter" as in 1 inch possibly 2 at 300 yards. I'd gladly trade that for the ability to have 300 more ft/lbs of energy.
Go ahead and post your caculations.
If it does kick less than at least it can do one thing better but I'm sure it's not that big of a difference. Felt recoil is extrememly objective anyway and can be alleviated by theshooter.Whereas a shootercan't make a given load perform better.
I can stay in my scope with the heaviest .308 load and I'm a sissie when it comes to recoil so that is plenty good enough for me and probalby anyone else women included.
