My wife drew a moose tag this year and she is going to show me how to fill the tag (I ate mine last year). She shoots a 7x57, which I am going to rework some loads from 120s to 150s for her...and I know thousands of moose have fallen victim to the 6.5x55. But I got to thinking as I have a Remington TI that I am going to rebarrel from 300 RSAUM, why not just put a brake on it for this one hunt? I can get it done for $175 so cost isn't too bad, and then I'll sell the barrel when I rechamber.
I realize that she should shoot what she is most comfortable with, just kicking thoughts if I should give her two options to shoot and the braked Ti would have even less recoil than the 7x57 while shooting 180s, faster...except I'm not a fan of braked rifles (which this one would be temporary).
