[QUOTE="akmtnhnt, post: 2680814, member: 120824"] I think anything that is going to achieve what you're looking for is going to be right up there with the recoil. I'd say every wildcat proposed is going to be really close. Bore size is irrelevant in recoil. It's gun weight, powder mass + bullet mass and velocity. If you're shooting a 250gr .452 at 2200fps out of an 8lb gun it is going to have the exact same recoil as a 250gr .430 at 2200fps out of an 8lb gun. Or a 250gr .355/7. The .452 bore might actually have a tiny bit less since larger bores tend to be slightly more efficient, get away with a half a grain or 1 grain less powder for the same velocity. Honestly efficiency of powder and max case pressure is the spot you'd be able to drop recoil maaaaybe 10%. If one case can take 50kpsi and the other only 40kpsi, you should be able to run a faster powder, and less of it to get to the 50kpsi, and the velocity you're after. Have you considered a brake or a suppressor(if they are legal where you are)? That's the easiest way to get what you're after. [/QUOTE]
