[QUOTE="3waycross, post: 723489, member: 6713"] It also kicks about 40% less than the 308, and if I am not mistaken the 140(.434) gr 7mm bullet probably has a higher ballsitic coefficient than the 150(.387), or 165(.410), 30 cal bullet. Which equates to less felt recoil, and good or better down range performance with the same speed. These BC's are for Nosler partitions. Other bullets will vary but not much.[/quote] BC doesn;t do anything for recoil, strictly external ballistics.
