[QUOTE="xsn10s, post: 1502163, member: 95344"] Okay if we you this train of thought and split the difference then gas accounts for 50% average of the felt recoil. So using a recoil calculator I came up with 42.98 ft/lbs of recoil energy on a 8lb rifle shooting a 225gr bullet going 2850fps with a 80gr powder charge( 300 WM). Using 8lbs for the rifle again but shooting a 168gr bullet going 2828fps with a 49gr powder charge has 20.56 ft/lbs recoil energy (308 Win). That's pretty close to 50% recoil reduction. Any shooter that's experienced shooting those kind of recoils will say there's a big difference in felt recoil. [URL]http://www.shooterscalculator.com/recoil-calculator.php[/URL] [/QUOTE]
