[QUOTE="baldhunter, post: 2880840, member: 11853"] The type of powder used has a big affect on recoil.That is probably one reason why the 120gr factory load with less velocity than the 130gr had more recoil.I found that out many years ago when I got my chronograph.I was loading H-870 and IMR 4350 in my 7mag.The H-870 had way more noticeable recoil than the IMR 4350 load,but the IMR 4350 load had over 100fps more velocity.I tried Magpro in my 300WSM.I wasn't even close to max and the recoil was horrible.Velocity was not that great either.I've used Magpro in other cartridges and it worked great and I never noticed the recoil being that offensive like I did with it in the 300WSM.I have also noticed in some rifles an increase in bullet weight is more noticeable than others using the same cartridges in both.So many variables in recoil.
