[QUOTE="Hugnot, post: 2288654, member: 115658"] I messed around with Open Office & came up with a spread sheet: [ATTACH type="full" alt="Screenshot (235).png"]298474[/ATTACH] My biggest is a .375-.338, smallest is a .20 P - see trees on the sky line or exploding rodents. I don't have either a .338 Edge or a .300 RUM so I had to get into the Hodgdon Load Data Site to guesstimate. Continuing on with: [B]" My question is, how much bullet weight would I have to drop to start noticing a reduction in recoil with the Edge?" [ATTACH type="full" alt="Screenshot (236).png"]298475[/ATTACH][/B] Bullet weight was reduced to 225 grains & velocity upped to 3000 - just guessing - pain & expense to get into this stuff. Another wild guess is the gas velocity, saw somewhere they used 5,200 ft/sec as gas would gush out in front of bullet. The acceleration of gravity, 32 ft/sec ft/sec is used to derive the mass of an object in "slugs". This assumes the operation is being performed on the face of this planet. The kinetic energy formula is E = 1/2 M V ^2 (1/2 Mass * Velocity squared). Physics guys use "slugs' to figure out kinetic energy. Mass in "slugs" = weight in pounds divided by 32.17 Explanation of slug (not snail like creature): [URL unfurl="true"]https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Slug_(unit)[/URL] I have a Magneto Speed chrony and should I use it with a heavy recoil rifle I would wrap 2 layers of duct tape around barrel with 1/4 sticky side up to keep the rifle from backing away from the the chrony.
