[QUOTE="WildRose, post: 665532, member: 30902"] Recoil comes from two different sources. 1) The equal and opposite reaction of launchign a given mass at a given velocity down the barrel. Other than going with heavier rigs there's not much you can do to mediate this component of felt recoil. 2) The Rocket motor effect of all that hot, expanding gas behind the bullet suddenly being freed when the bullet exits the barrel at which time it rockets the muzzle backwards against you. This aspect of recoil can dramatically be cut with a good muzzle brake. That's why the right muzzle brake can reduce your felt recoil from the idential loads in the same rifle by as much as around 60-75%. [/QUOTE]
