[QUOTE="The Oregonian, post: 2444863, member: 51405"] I have a couple of rifles (30-06 and 280ai) that use N560, and when compared to the two rifles I have that use Retumbo (280ai and 30 Nosler) I swear the Retumbo rifles are both more enjoyable than the N560 rifles. They are different weights, shoot different weights bullets, etc, but the recoil calculator says both Retumbo guns have the most recoil of any of the rifles I own. The 280’s and 30-06 are all similar and the 30 Nosler has by far more recoil. They all have brakes (although some different brands) so that should equal out. I feel like slower powders produce less [I]felt[/I] recoil, spreading the impact out over a longer time. As many folks have described it, it sounds like a shove while the N560 rifle feels more like a punch. Is this just me or do others notice a noticeable difference in recoil with some powders? [/QUOTE]
