Increase powder charge by 0.5 for each load. Shoot a 3 shot group working your way up, rem bering to let your barrel cool down between groups. Take note of the accuracy, you should hit a sweet spot...

110 barnes or 125-130grn projectiles do drop 308 recoil way down...seriously WAY down.....if you go 110grn route you are nearly turning it into a 243...... recoil should actually be less..... decent...

For shorter range shooting (up to 150-200m), you can load the 308 with 30-30 type projectiles at 30-30 speeds, recoil is a lot less than full-power 308 loads but still drops animals very effectively.

Wear a carrier harness / vest, any stiff webbing running over your shoulder spreads recoil nicely.

I use a Tikka T 3 lite 7mm rem mag with no suppressor or brake and when shooting game I don't notice recoil or noise. I feel for you with your injury sorry to hear that. I find holding the...

I would take Makros offer. Some Tikkas kick like absolute bastards because of stock shape and material, you might have one of those

That's a rough deal of it mate. If it's your collar bone giving you grief try to avoid shooting prone (lying down). You want be sitting and standing. That way the butt of the rifle isn't sitting...

Smashed my right collarbone into pieces many moons ago. The titanium steels were removed but the shoulder was never the same again. Well, will get a T2 brake/butt pad and work on my posture to see if...

I use springer air rifles, the hold technique is to let the front grip slide, artillery hold. Got a forwards & backwards recoil that buggers up accuracy. Done this a few times with the 308, large...

Biggest way to reduce recoil is reduce bullet weight. Recoil pad, technique, brake etc all good recommendations. Bullet weight will make them all more effective by a lot. Maybe look at the 130gn...

Get a silicone shotgun pad that straps to your shoulder

Get a heavier stock as well. That will soak up some recoil. If it's a range rifle weight shouldn't be an issue. Maybe get one of those 6.5's instead ?

Hey sheep. That rifle, caliber, and brake combination should be relatively mild to shoot. First thing to check is you are using hearing protection. Suggest both ear plugs and muffs. A lot of...
