[QUOTE="Barrelnut, post: 1296903, member: 74902"] I always thought the following was a cool little chart. It gives recoil versus rifle weight, cartridge, and bullet weight. With 180 gr. bullet, in the same weight rifle, a 300 WSM has about 8% less recoil than a 300 Win Mag. So total amount of powder burned does affect recoil, even for same weight bullets. Just not much. I think Wild Bill is right, shorter case with less volume, and faster, and more uniform ignition creates higher pressure.
