Hi Dave,
I'm currently shooting a 10kg 6BR and have a .284 switch barrel on the way.
You said that you need to be careful in switching between the 6BR, 6.5x47 and .284sh. Does this mean that you change your rifle hold and technique between calibres or are you talking about mentally preparing yourself for the different recoil so as not to flinch?
Thanks, Denis.

Hi Denis,
It is a double edged sword really. Firstly I have to be careful for the first few shots after shooting the others for a while as there is a marked jump in recoil and hence a bit of a shock factor although that is getting better. Mental preparation and following my routine helps. I can also get very lazy with my 6BR and seem to get away with almost any hold/technique. This is not quite true - but in comparison it feels that way and I try not to shoot it too much in between and try and use same technique for all now. But it is a joy to pick it up every now and then. (I must say the new stocks are helping though and if you are at 10kg it will be quite tame really once you get used to it.)
Maybe I just need to build myself a 300WSM to help training for the 7mm???

I took awhile to get comfortable with the 284. Now after 6years shooting 284's it is second nature. I actually shoot mine free recoil.
I tried a 300wsm, too much for me. Others have mastered it though, Paul J shoots his with ease.

These rifles in the pictures don't look shiny enough to shoot well. Gotta get some more polished aluminum bits on them or some fake carbon fibre bits on them if you want them to roll with the big players.
As for your velocities, they are supposed to increase by 150 fps when measured at the keyboard.
