I have a 1970's Remington 700 ADL that kicks like a mule also. Here are some of the loads I've shot:
Remington 100 gr PSP - At 3300 FPS it basically decapitates a Whitetail if you shoot em in the neck. One of my favorite quotes from my dad came after I hung up some deer I shot with this ammo. He walked around the deer and said "What the hell are you shooting them with, a cannon?" Mild recoil.
Remington Managed Recoil 115 gr Core-Lokt PSP - Mild Recoil
Hornady Custom Lite 120 gr SST - Never shot ammo, this but it's marketed as a reduced recoil load.

The Bell & Carlson (5.5oz adder) stock comes with a nice recoil pad, will change your life and still maintain a fairly light weight easy handling rifle.

God bless John Wayne!

Haven't seen lighter bullets, if your shooting 150 gr, a drop to 130 gr will go a long way towards taming recoil. not enough to be noticeable.

They are called Brakes, cause they brake your ear drums. I will never have another gun, with a muzzle brake.

I just bought a Tikka T3 7mag from Cabelas and shipped it to Hill Country Rifles and they installed a muzzle brake on it for me.
I haven't shot it yet but hoping it's about like a 243 recoil.
