RE: 7mm-08 recoil?
probably didnt shoulder it right, were just playing around and I wanted to shoot it. It hit me high, on the ball of the shoulder.
3 shots in a tee shirt, no recoil-pad, yes it did bruise me.
I sighted in a 7 mag the week before, of course I was paying attention to how I shoulderd that one.
No bruise.
All I was saying is the 7-08 is far from having non existent recoil.
