[QUOTE="big green chopper, post: 3830339, member: 46480"] All of those "big bore" cartridges will obviously have higher recoil. Grendel and 6mm ARC will have a little more recoil than 556 in my experience, but we are almost splitting hairs there. Some guys probably wont notice the difference unless you point it out. "Full power" 300 AAC rounds will have slightly more recoil than 556 IME. Subsonic 300 AAC which should NOT be used for deer size game, is less recoil than 556. *Food for thought... full power 300 AAC only offers about 200# more energy than 556. At that point, why not just use 556 and enjoy a much flatter trajectory? And at that point, why not tolerate a tiny bit more recoil and enjoy a much harder hitting Grendel or 6 ARC? One more note to my speal: At short distances the trajectory of 556 vs 300 AAC will not matter, although the higher velocity of 556 is arguably more damaging than a larger lower velocity round.
