[QUOTE="ken snyder, post: 628831, member: 26019"] The recoil energy caused by the acceleration of the bullet is only about 1/2 or even less than the total recoil energy. and it is by itself not a measurement of felt recoil or recoil by itself for that matter. There are a lot of very simplistic definitions found on such things as Wikipedia and brief articles here and there and they are not intended as an education on a subject, they are a basics primer to satisfy a little bit of curiosity. I cant actually say that you are wrong but that the understanding behind it is. I will give one very good example many have a Barnes #3 reloading manual and many have a 300 RUM ( page 414 ). look at the bullet energies you will notice that the 250, 220, 200 grain bullets all have less energy than the 140, 150, 165, and 180 grain bullets. What does bullet energy have to do with recoil, it is called conservation of energy or an impossibility of getting more energy out of a bullet than what you put into it. and if you take a quick glance at the average charge weight differences there is perhaps 20 grains difference of weight and that gas produces the other half of the recoil energy as it leaves the barrel. in this small and verifiable list the heavy bullets all by themselves without gas weight velocity energy is far less than the lighter bullets now add that extra 20 grains or so. Absolutely heavier bullets produce less felt recoil. As far as gas density I do not think that you will have to go too far to find a pilot and ask him what effects just plain old air density has on his airplane and it is nothing more than the energy too lift.
