[QUOTE="AZShooter, post: 864066, member: 5219"] Alan, It sounds like stock design is a factor in your felt recoil. I remember my friend's 375 H and H was absolutely horrible with the way it recoiled yet I have fired other 375s that were fine. --------------- Speaking of recoil...I remember the time a guy brought a 470 nitro side by side to the range. I watched him stand to shoot at the 50 yd target. The rifle went off and as he was rolling with the recoil it went off again! Turns out he had double triggers and pulled the front one first. The recoil caused his grip to move enough that his finger hit the second trigger! He was rubbing his shoulder afterwards and said he would never to THAT again. If he was shooting one of the heavier loads with a 500 gr bullet at 2100 fps with 100 gr of powder and a 12 lb rifle he would have experienced 63 ft/lb of recoil TWICE. That makes my unbraked 9 lb 300 RUM shooting the 230 gr berger at 2975 fps with 100 gr of powder a pussycat at 41 ft/lb. [/QUOTE]
