If You have a Bolt-Action Rifle You can also buy the Remington Managed Recoil Shells and tame down an exisiting Rifle like a 30-06 and whatever else Remington carries in their line of Managed Recoil Shells?Oh yeah....even the 7mm-08 has a managed recoil shell for it too.I sighted in an older Remington Bolt-Action 30-06 I bought from a Relative that needed some cash and used the Managed Recoil shells and it kicked like a .243 Rifle,I was very impressed and had clover-leaf group of 3 shots at 100 yards...just imagine shooting a 30-06 with very little recoil.
