[QUOTE="WildRose, post: 521379, member: 30902"] Until the pressure of the expanding gas exits the barrel that equal and opposite reaction is contained within the pressure vessel. The only force exerted ahead of the bullet are the air pressure (environmental as in barometer) and the tiny fraction of gas that gets around the bullet. Thus there is nothing to push the rifle back other than a tiny, tiny amount of air pressure. Notice in this video when the recoil shows it's effect. [ame="http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=BW93WQ98s-I"]Gun shot so slow you can see the bullet - YouTube[/ame] The main reason it matters how you hold the rifle is to get properly alinged and steady on target, keep yourself from flinching, reduce felt recoil against your shoulder and to remain closer to on target so you can see your bullet impact and make quicker follow up shots. With a decent muzzle brake you can set your rife on a bipod and the butt sitting on sand bags and fire a nice tight group with only your finger in the trigger and no other contact point against your body.
