Judson, I bet if you came down and shot with me, and I put a 300weatherby with an 180gr load in your arm without you knowing which gun is what, you shot it and then I put my 300RUM in your arm and you shot it, and then repeated this with several simular rounds, I will bet ya you can' t tell me with 100% repeatability which gun is which by felt recoil.

I mean slight differences in the shape of the recoil pad makes all the difference in the world. And I just so happen to have availablity to simular wieghted rifles both with H-S precision stocks.

If you have sensitivity to 2ft-lb differences in the two guns, then your a better man than me.
