[QUOTE="SidecarFlip, post: 1157167, member: 39764"] Ed: Lets chalk that up as the second biggest misconception.... Anticipation of recoil and how it adversely impacts accuracy and shot placement negatively.... I had that exact issue with my Smith and Wesson 44 long barreled revolver sending full house 240 grain hollowpoints (Sierra Sportsmasters) with 22 grains of Lil'Gun. That is one helluva a hard recoiling animal. (I did something I don't do, gave a working load out...) It's a great deer round up here bit it took some serious discipline on my part to overcome the 'fear and anticipation of recoil' to actually attain some respectable groups. We all can't be Clint Eastwood after all. One of my hunt buddies wife wanted to shoot my 338 Lapua (it's braked of course) but she had a preconceived notion that it would recoil hard and her first 3 shots were indicative of thar preconceived notion. Once she settled down (and realized that it wasn't a man (woman) killer, she started shooting respectable groups. In my view, that is the second misconception... Anticipation of recoil and how it adversely impacts accuracy.... [/QUOTE]
