[QUOTE="rammac, post: 1850500, member: 27761"] Lets put it this way, the column of air in front of a 168 grain, .308 Win bullet, fired from a 22 inch barrel, will produce about 0.5 inch pounds of recoil which is about 0.24% (a little more than 2 tenths of a percent) of the total force of recoil - so I don't think that it really matters. Yes, I did the math using my QuickLoad software for the recoil data and simple estimates using the volume of the bore and how much mass air has per volume. What's more, the actual force of recoil will probably be a little less since these are estimates using the total volume of the bore while in actuality the air column gets smaller as the bullet moves down the bore and gains momentum. My guess is that the column of air in front of the bullet for the last few inches will be the only air that has enough velocity to actually produce a measurable recoil force. [/QUOTE]
