[QUOTE="ken snyder, post: 512200, member: 26019"] Felt recoil is not the same as calculated recoil. The more mass ( YOU ) the rifle encounters the faster recoil energy disipates. A heavy shoulder doesnt move as easily as a light one. Larger Rifles also twist due to spinning the bullet, adding to the discomfort level. Slap, shove and twist are comparative terms each with a different remedy. An over looked remedy is too shoot the heaviest bullet your rifle will support. Remember in energy, velocities are squared while weight is multipied, this also applies to gunpowder charge weight as well. A slower bullet also spreads the felt recoil over a longer time, reducing slap and twist. This does not hold true with all cartridges, but if you crunch the math you can reduce the most annoying part of recoil, what ever it is for you. Also a stock that fits properly and designed for its intent, is priceless, and surpasses well beyond the remedy measures. [/QUOTE]
