How does the calculator factor in gun weight?

So the numbers you posted above were for a 7lb gun?

As promised, here are the results from my range session this morning with the 122gr HHT: https://hammerbullets.com/hammertime/threads/share-your-hammer-loads.12/post-23420
11 shots fired and I have a load that gave me a 0.4" group.

Good info. I've got a pile of RL26 but was figuring it would be to slow for the light weight bullets.

300 WSM can also be loaded down to 308 levels for recoil sensitive shooters. I'd choose a 300 WSM, but I'm never going to stand in anyone's way of buying a new rifle! Someone suggested letting your wife decide what caliber she wanted, and that sounds like a recipe for success to me!

She wants a 300 wsm. She had a vanguard years ago. We both disliked it so much we sold it. Only gun we have ever sold. It wasn't the cartridge it was the vanguard. Total POS.
I killed my second largest whitetail ever with it.

Isn't it made by Salmon River Solutions? Thinking that is where I ordered the one on my 30-28 Nosler and had them customize it. They were really helpful getting it matched to my threads and barrel size.

The TiPro brakes are made by Salmon River Solutions. I have the 5 port on my 338 RUM. Tames the recoil very well. I’d say my 338 has less recoil than my 300 win mag with a Holland brake. If you are ok with using a brake I highly recommend the TiPro brakes.

I bought a Savage 110 Ultralight in 300WSM. It is light. It has a very nice PROOF research carbon barrel. The stock is adjustable to length and comb height with inserts. I'm not totally happy with the brake I put on it, so would definitely go with the recommendation from Beeman. I'm amazed at how it tames the kick. I would say it at least deserves a good look.

Hey guys,
Yes, y’all are correct. I’m so sorry. I knew that and somehow I was thinking UM. UM sells them, but yes, they are made by SRS. So sorry about that

You are correct sir. I recind my comment I don’t see any 1:8 for 243 in the tikka. Weatherby is chambering 243 and 240 weatherby in the 307 now in 1-7.5
