But if you load a 7mm Rem Mag with regular old soft points then it kicks just about the same as a 30-06. If you get the big 7 and somewhat in-experienced then I strongly suggest staying away from the accubonds, partitions, balistic tips and such and start out shooting the soft points so you don't develope a flinch because it will kick, but everybody has different tollernces.
What in the world are you talking about here and where did you hear this?
Any given cartridge will have a specific ammount of recoil with any given bullet weight regardless if it has a plastic tip, bonded core, partition or plane jane construction. A 150 grain bullet at 3100 fps is a 150 grain bullet at 3100 fps.
He said (and this is what I need opinions on) that in the SAME gun shooting a 7 Rem. Mag and a .300 Win. Mag side by side that I would see virtually ZERO difference in recoil.............not sure about that.
A 7mm Rem mag has almost exactly the same ammount of recoil as does a 30-06 out of the same rifle. A 300 Win mag will have about 4 more foot pounds of recoil than either the 30-06 or 7 mag.
A 7mm Rem mag and a 300 Win mag can be used interchangeable and you won't be able to tell the difference in trajectory, killing power, penetration, etc... etc... provided you use bullets of the same sectional density and with the same BC.Example... A160 grain in the 7-mag and a 180 grain in the 300-mag of the same bullet like a nosler partition.They will have identical trajectories.
What one can do so can the other equally as well and the dead animal will never ever know the difference.
