[QUOTE="J E Custom, post: 1038367, member: 2736"] Most 12 gauge shotguns have a recoil of between 15 and 20 ft lbs. Recoil velocity (Perceived) is much higher because of the charge weight, fast burning powder, and the shotguns weight(5 to 7 lbs) all of this allows the recoil velocity to be very fast and this is what the shooter feels. it will be almost double the ft/lbs of recoil on some shotguns. Most 30/06 (Example) has any where from 17 ft/lbs to 25 ft/lbs of recoil energy. The 416 Rigby will have almost 3 times the recoil energy of the shotgun (Somewhere between 57 ft lbs and 63 ft/lbs of recoil. With that said, 2 to 3 times the recoil of a 12 gauge shotgun is your answer. The decision to brake or not to brake is strictly the individuals based on there recoil tolerance. The 50 BMG has a recoil of 90 to 110 without a brake so it is one of the firearms that definitely needs a muzzle brake, there are many other big bores that need a muzzle brake. the 416s are right at this crossroad of needing a muzzle brake depending on the load, weight of the rifle and the shape of the stock and the recoil tolerance of the shooter.
