[QUOTE="comfisherman, post: 2921177, member: 8394"] [URL unfurl="true"]https://shooterscalculator.com/recoil-calculator.php[/URL] Play with load data, in that calculator and you can see the recoil speed and energy. [URL unfurl="true"]https://bisonballistics.com/calculators/recoil[/URL] Another that shows the math Nature of the equation means bullet weight and load charge in grains have impact, but noting like fps and rifle weight. From doing lots of work getting little ones to shoot, they tolerate more energy in ft lbds if it's a slower impulse speed. Slower bigger push seems to be much more tolerated than a fast slap. Edit to add, my personal preference is actually moderate weight projectile (so in a 6mm that would be 80-95 grains) over a starting load. Usually there is an accuracy node not far from the starting data. The animal won't know 100 fps, but stating vs max load can be non trivial in recoil perception. As an aside note from introducing many new or young shooters, muzzle blast can cause flinch and negative shooting experience even more than excessive recoil. [/QUOTE]
