[QUOTE="budlight, post: 521146, member: 2939"] This not a fight, but the truth is when the bullet move its first micron of an inch it has created some equal and opposite reaction. With the reaction of recoil peaking at or near max powder caused PSI. AS Darrel Holland implied. felt recoil occures just before the bullet leaves the barrel. That is because of the few thousants of second it takes for the bullet to travel the length of the barrel and cause the rifle to move backwards. To the poster what cured all my flinching was to shoot really big caliber rifles. Just beg, borrow or steal a 416 or 458 magnum with some max loaded shells. Pop off a 2-3 rounds and it will make your 300 seem like a kids gun. I have a shoting jacket with a built in recoil pad. It was intended for 12 guage duck hunting. But it is also good with big magnums. Trigger weight can really help. My latest rifle is set to 1.5 lbs and it really groups good at under 2.4 inch 10 shot groups @ 400 yards bench resting. Big guns I use my left hand gripping over the top of the barrel out in front of the scope and pull the rifle against my should for bench rest shooting. Free stand is always a sling for triagulation and let my body rock back with the recoil. I'm only 170 pounds Turn your scope up and shoot at small dot targets. When you breath out and hold you should actually see your cross hairs bounce with your heart beat. time your trigger pull to right after the jump when the cross hairs are recentered and steady. The trigger is not instant so it is something you have to learn. Don't fill you magazine. Take your time one shot at a time. If its not good...... stop ..... shut your eyes..... count a few heart beats..... open your eyes and center the cross hairs. This might sound odd, But I shoot better when I can't see the holes in the paper. That way you are not thinking about correcting the placement of the next shot. In the military You would fire off say 30 rounds after the radio back in sight in shots. Then your all standing around talking to your buddies about what you thought you did. When the radio came back on with the scores for each target. So the carry over to today is I like shooting at 200 min yards after the closer in rough site in.
