Funny, but I've never fired them side by side before until today. The difference was massive, the WSM booted the shit out of me and nearly half mooned me as i'd been using the other rifle and didn't expect there to be such s difference.

Goes to show that not all brakes do the same job.

Not a fair comparision.

Even with the same brake your 7mmSTW will always kick less than the 7mmWsm.

It is approx 6% heavier & has far more gas volume & gas velocity to make the brake work.

In my vids you can see that the 7-375R recoils about the same as the 308 Montana with the same brake on it, not scientific & not on the same day but a very good indication.

Interesting, I guess you learn something new everyday eh?
