[QUOTE="Wild Bill G, post: 1297566, member: 96281"] There is very little recoil generated in firing a blank. This is because the bullet is puttig up resistance to the burning powder. It takes more energy to get a heavier object moving than a lifgr one or in the case of a blank nothing at all. As I stated earlier though a heavy bullet with a light charge will not kick as much as that same bullet with a heavy charge. This not saying though that a light bullet with a heavy charge could not create more recoil than a heavy bullet with a light charge. Not sure on recoil numbers but a 257Wby firing a 100gr. bullet probably generates more recoil than a 30-30 firing a 170gr bullet. The reason being that the 257 is using almost twice as much powder. However the closer the ratio becomes the recoil will begin to even out until the heavy bullet surpasses the light one in recoil produced. I hope this helps. The felt recoil can be reduced with a heavier gun or a muzzle break or one of the new recoil pad systems out there. [/QUOTE]
