    Recoil: 6.5 Swede vs. 7mm-08 vs. .260

    Bear with me: I tore a retina about a year ago and there's still some negative sensitivity in the eye to more than gentle contact, despite very high-priced medical opinion it's good to shoot with. I don't want to push the eye so I'm considering the above calibers and would like very much your...

    .260 vs. 7mm-08?

    Looking for anything that would tilt my decision one way or the other. Rifle isn't a factor, since I'm re-barreling, and I'm not a handloader. From the ballistics, the two rounds look like a virtual toss-up. Understand they're both relatively mild in the recoil department, but I've never...

    Help with ammo for tender tendon

    I've found to my dismay that the 240-grain PMC ammo I have for my 3" barreled .44 Special revolver makes the tendons in my wrist sore for up to the days after less than 10 shots. As I read PMC's ballistics, that round has a muzzle velocity of only 760 fps. Hoping to get more shooting time...

    Savage Caliber Switch

    Have a .243, which I believe could be readily rebarreled to .223 or .308, but would really love to convert to 6.5 Swede without simply buying another gun (I understand all the arguments for doing so). Anyone know what would be involved, assuming it could be done at all?

    Which factory ammo for .357 & .44 Mags?

    A two-part question: Tuesday I'll be getting a .357 revolver with a 4" barrel and will shoot factory ammo, primarily in .38 special to keep both cost and recoil down. So first I'd like your advice on a good, widely-available inexpensive target-plinking round in .38. Next, if it isn't...

    Recoil Comparison Advice, Please

    Appreciate your thoughts on which would give most (perceived, if you like) recoil in 44 Special: a 180-grain bullet at 980 fps or a 210 at 700?
