Nice video. I have .308 but I am looking to buy .243, because I want less kick. How would you compare the kick of .243 to .308 and .223? I also had a saiga in .223, but I had to sell it.

@Igoman1984

Well with the weight of this gun at 13lbs it kicks very lightly, in fact sometimes I think my hot handloaded .223 tikka kicks more. Hard to say though.

Please enlighten me. I do alot of long distance shooting with my 270. I believe the bullet drop for a winchester super X 130gr. factory load bullet is about 20-25ft at 1000 yards I cannot remember exactly. Any pointers on how to best estimate how high to aim over what you are trying to hit???

[mudflinger150]

@bmmccas You need to know your velocity and the bullet Ballistic Coeficent, which you can usually find on the manufactures website. Then go to jbm ballistic calculator (its free) Plug in the numbers and variables and it should be really close.

but can you do bong hits at 900 yards??

@Igoman1984 .243 is an amazing round. Some may disagree but I feel that it is a very versatile round. I suppose it depends on what you're hunting. I've been hunting coyotes with .243 for years. The ammunition is not extremely expensive, and the recoil is bearable if not just plain comfortable. Let me know what rifle you get (or got). Any other questions let me know.

@Igoman1984 The recoil in a .243 is close to the recoil of a .308. i havnt shot.223 without it bieng in a ar15 so i wouldnt know how it would be in a bolt gun. depending on the weight of the bullets you use will determine how much kick there is. 180gr in a .308 kicks harder than a 155gr outa the same rifle. hope it helps/

@BlackBearsLove Why not? No need to call names..

@Igoman1984 i have fired all three ,,, depends on the round and barrel wht, ,,,as mudflinger noted ,,,,, also , if you are recoil shy ,you may try a soft pad ,, my experience with 308 and 243 is that they both are not different enough to care ,, the 223 is definitely softer ,, matter what you are going to use it for ,,, we could talk all day on what is best ,,, mudflinger may have a bit more up to date knowledge than me ,,, it has been a few yrs since i owned these rifles

[heettreet]

@bmmccas i use the simplest method ,,, shoot rounds low till i get zeroed in ,,, no calculations ,,,,, i don't care what the mid range hgt is ,,,, just hit the bull
