[QUOTE="WildRose, post: 521047, member: 30902"] Recoil occurs as the bullet exits the barrel because of the "equal and opposite" reaction. Essentially the expulsion of the bullet and hot gasses turns your barrel into something of a rocket moving in the opposite direction of the force which creates the recoil. There is a small fraciton of gas which escapes ahead of the round, but not enough to cause a significant recoil effect. As long as the bullet and gases remain in the barrel and chamber, there really is no movement of the rifle in the opposite direction. In all likelihood your problem is your own reaction you just don't realize you are flinching. As for not remaining on target, that is natural. Without a good muzzle brake you cannot. Installing a good muzzle brake and good recoil reducing pad will do you a lot of good. If it still won't shoot better than 1MOA it's a matter of skill or your rifle not liking the load providing that is, it's been properly accurized. [/QUOTE]
