[QUOTE="ackleyguy, post: 54927, member: 377"] Good Question! Recoil occurs because of 2 factors without getting overly complicated... There is recoil from the inertia of the bullet..the faster it goes the more recoil there is( the weight of the gun has a great effect on felt recoil as well, remember: "For every action there is a equal and opposite reaction"..Newtons Law) the "rocket or jet effect" of recoil , that is to say the larger the amount of powder the larger the amount of gas generated thusly, more recoil..This is why muzzle brakes work really well on certain cartridges, and only so so on others. Very poorly on a few. Lets look at a example... Take a 30-378 Weath. LOTS of gas for the brake to work..250-3000 works but not as effectivly Finally a 12 gauge slug.....lots of bullet weight,or recoil due to intertia....relativly speaking a small amount of powder gas with which to make a brake work....Hope this helps [/QUOTE]
