I have used the "Managed Recoil" shells in my older Remington 30-06 Bolt-Action Rifle and I can tell You first-handed that I was impressed with how much less recoil I had in that Rifle....and I used it in a Rifle that was previously sighted in using the regular 30-06 shells and it only took me a few rounds to hit dead on starting out at 50 yards then I was putting 3 shots in a small circle out at 100 yards.The recoil was as light as shooting my Browning .243 Bolt-action Rifle and I didn't have to buy a different Rifle that had less recoil and the newer "Managed Recoil" shells shot just a little lower than my regular shells I had used in the Rifle before.Now You have to use the MR shells in a Bolt-action or pump Rilfe because it may not have enough power/recoil to kick the shell casing out of Semi-Automatic Rifle and it states this on the box of shells.I would highly reccomend the MR shells to anyone that is having problems with too much recoil in their Rifle or if they have a larger caliber Rifle and have a Younger Youth Hunter that needs to shot a gun with less recoil...and if You decide to go back with the regular ammo later on it will only be off a little bit.
I tried to get the Managed Recoil shells for my Savage 7mm-08 last year and they had sold so many of them that they were on back-order for over 2 months...I ended up using the regular shells and sighted my Rifle with them....when I run out of the last box I plan on getting the MR shells and I can let my Daughters use the very same Rifle with the benefit of less recoil and I know it won't take much to re-sight my Gun in again.
You can get the same results if You Re-Load your own shells....but like most of us we just don't have the time or shot that much to get into Re-loading so buying the Managed Recoil shells is a cheap and easy alternative to making a Rifle into a good accurate one with less recoil and if your more comfortable shooting with less recoil Your going to be a better and more accurate Shooter!
