Thread: "Karhu" A.K.A "Finnish Bear" 30-06 load developement

I had the same rifle once. Shooting prone the stock used to belt my cheek bone. Sitting , standing all good.

Try softer 150 gn loads or run 130s. For a while.

When I moved up from my .22LR to my Franchi .243 I got a bit of a flinch on (after the first session of shooting it, at which I was fine, probably because I was "new rifle fever")
I was anticipating the BOOM and snatching at the trigger, with predictable results.
What worked for me was to slow myself right down and get my breathing sorted, couple of sessions like that and now I'm good and it's not been an issue since no idea if that's of any help to you but it worked for me.

Also, to the OP, whilst I know nothing about reloading, what you're explaining is fascinating
