[QUOTE="J E Custom, post: 1304443, member: 2736"] I went back to look at the actual recoil of the two rifles and these test were performed on our sled for testing muzzle brakes. The calculated recoil that FEENIX posted was very close to the actual test recoil. so the recoil calculator was/is very close. Our actual test numbers were slightly higher but to close to tell any real difference. The 300 WIN mag was 31.5 ft/lbs and the 300 Weatherby was 34.7 for a total difference of 3.2 ft/lbs. Perceived recoil is very hard to quantify so we needed to have something that gave us actual numbers to compare. So the answer to the posters question is that with the powder increase of the 300 Weatherby producing 22.2 gas recoil, and the 300 Win producing 19.0 gas recoil. The 300 Weatherby would have more recoil than the 300 win by3+ft/lbs with all other things being equal. I think some could tell the difference and some couldn't J E CUSTOM [/QUOTE]
