[QUOTE="QuietTexan, post: 2921295, member: 116181"] Heavier bullet; the equation usually works out to 80-90% bullet weight, 10-20% charge mass. Roughly speaking, (using an 8# 6mm rifle as an example) getting an 80 and 105 to the same velocity at the same charge weight (using different powders), recoil is 20% more for the heavier bullet. An 80 going 3400 is ~15% less than a 105 going 3000. IMO put a 75gn HHT into it, light weight for a deer bullet, great performance, should shoot very flat also: [URL unfurl="true"]https://hammerbullets.com/product/243-cal-075gr-hammer-hht/[/URL] I don't know if anyone could feel a difference between 80/90s and 100s in a 6mm. I can feel a difference in 30gn of bullet weight in a 30-06 but that's a much higher powder charge also, and I think I can only feel it because of a very poorly fitting stock that's a beating to shoot in general. Big misery factor with that rifle. 10/10 10/10 Regardless of what the paper math says, a suppressor and a stock that's more the right size would be much more impactful on what she FEELS than 30gn of bullet weight at 6 ARC velocities. I've seen kid shoot 22s better with double ears because they aren't used to the sound, and those have essentially no measurable recoil. [/QUOTE]
