[QUOTE="Hugnot, post: 2287968, member: 115658"] Good stuff for a spread sheet. Running this stuff for a rifle with a brake would make for reduction of the Wpg value (weight of propellant gases). I will make a spread sheet to figure out recoil energy. My smallest rifle is a .20P & the biggest one is a .375-.338. The .375 really kicks hard with 67-68 gr. of H4350 & a 300 Si GK, slightly less felt recoil with a 270 gr, BT (Speer) & 73 gr, H4350 at 2700 fps. The .20 P has so little recoil hits can be spotted thru the scope - ideal for shooting rodents. I have one brake & it is on my 5.56 AR and reduces the recoil enough to spot hits for fast 2nd & 3rd shots. I think it does this by reducing the Wpg value that is the weight of propellant gases, instead of being expelled out the brake traps the gas & diverts it. [/QUOTE]
