[QUOTE="Len Backus, post: 20817, member: 1"] Brent Ok, I'll venture a guess as to the weight required. According to the excel spreadsheet I use for recoil calcs: A 9 pound, un-braked .308 has around 17 pounds of recoil. I don't know just what your load is for your big gun. Assume 300 grain bullet, 130 grains of powder and a velocity of 3,200 fps. This means an un-braked howitzer needs to weigh around 50 pounds. Correct my load assumptions if you like and I will run it again. (I couldn't get your email address to work) [/QUOTE]
