Ok Matt,
Here you go, this shows the difference in recoil. A .308 being fired with and without can.
Watch the whole video, pretty good really... the Yanks sure have a heap more choice for their $ than we do... Shows what can be expected when sighting in and the difference in Ammo brands.
Just because it is expensive doesn't always mean your rifle will like it.

Also, you can see the bullet drop on the .308 if you look when he shoots the Gong you can see how much it drops at 500 yds.
Hope that helps some.
