I agree that bullet performance will be the key factor when considering a low recoil deer round.

Based on all the input so far I am looking for a 120gr or lighter 6.5 bullet that will kill a deer at 6.5Creedmoor velocities or perhaps a 6mm /243 Bullet that will do the same out to 350yards. I think there are a few out there.

If I end up needing a brake I will get one but I prefer not. I shoot my 358 unported and I plugged my X-frame 460XVR port.

Remember I am out of my element here as I am a lifelong big bore, recoil junkie, bigger is better guy. My favorite deer cartridges are the 358JDJ and the 460S&W. I used to laugh at the guys shooting sub 30 cal rounds now I am considering becoming one. LOL...
