Re: Recoil and What to do about it!

Many thanks Gunny, got to put some rounds through the 450 today with the new stock on. Near as I can tell, with Gunny's stock and a Tubbs carrier weight, it now has the felt recoil of a 243. Unbelievable difference. After 60 rounds, I couldn't even tell I had shot it. Turned in some very promising groups, once I remembered which way was which on my scope turrets. And got settled in the groove. Gonna post pics of groups but photo bucket seems to be down at the moment. Only issue I still have is ejector swiping on case heads. By the way, stock and carrier weight did drastically change where my brass ends up. Went from a consistent 2 o'clock to between 3 and 5 o'clock.
250 gr ftx over 38 gr lil gun. Spotter on right was first 5, left was after I settled in and got in the groove. 2" spotters at 100 yds
