Default RE: Bullet Weight vs, Kick?

In a hunting situation as mentioned youshould not really notice too much difference although with your MLbeing on the lighter side at 6.5 lbs, you may notice subtle differences in percieved recoil that a heavier ML will not experience.

None likely between 240 and 250gr projectilesunless you have a really tight loading projectile then I always notice a little increase the sharpness of recoil.

At the range for targetingis a bit different story,Inotice the difference with a heavier projectile. Even 50gr heavier.

Not a problem but there is additional recoil and you will notice it sooner (fatigue) with a heavier projectile.In particularwith a lighter rifle.

If you are simply sighting in a heavier projectile to find your load, should beno big deal.
