ORIGINAL: Roskoe
I'm using 46.2 grains of a medium burning spherical ball powder in the 7MM-08; and 59.0 grains of a fairly slow extrudedpowder in the 7 Rem Mag.
Using the velocities for each respective caliber's 150 gr. load they came out with teh 7mm rem mag having substantially more...almost 8 more ft/lbs of free recoil.
Using an equal velocity (2800 fps) I got only 3 ft/lbs more recoil with the mag.
Just an FYI: the Federal 150 gr. 7mm mag load is clocked at 3110 and the 7mm-08 150 gr. load at 2800.
