[QUOTE="J E Custom, post: 360919, member: 2736"] Up date on recoil of a Barret M 82 A1 light fifty= After looking for a Recoil program to run the numbers I found Lens Excel program and plugged in the numbers and this was the results. 750 grain A max @ 2950 using 250grs US 869 in a 29 pound rifle = 138.857 ft/lbs of recoil and 14,569 ft/lbs muzzle energy. NOTE: This is not accounting for the recoil operated action and the muzzle break. I have no way of measuring actual recoil but it has to be less than 1/2 of 137.8 ft/lbs (Somewhere below 70 ft/lbs). Most brakes are from 30 to 50% effective. J E CUSTOM [/QUOTE]
