There are two relatively new .17 caliber rimfire loads. Both offer improved performance over all previous rimfire varmint cartridges. One is the CCI A17 load, introduced in 2015 for the well established .17 HMR cartridge and the other is the fastest rimfire ever, the .17 Winchester Super Mag (WSM), introduced in 2013.The recoil is brutal. According to Chuck Hawks' handgun recoil table, the felt recoil of a 454 is nearly twice that of a .44 Mag load when fired from guns of similar weight and size. This isn't a cartridge to go out plinking with. At anywhere from $2 to $3.75 a round, 454 owners might want to consider practicing with .45 Colt loads. ...Oct 28, 2018 · Granted, recoil energy is highly relative; recoil force depends on grain weight and muzzle velocity as well as the weight of the rifle. Most people attest that .270 vs .30-06 favors the lighter round. By the numbers, according to the Chuck Hawks recoil table, an 8-lb. rifle in .270 generates 16.5 ft-lbs of recoil with a 130-grain load at 3,140 fps. Remington's 360 Buckhammer, easily a 200 yard cartridge, takes care of things quite nicely. Right now, the 360 Buckhammer has been announced in two Core-Lokt loadings: a 2200 fps 200 grain round (.181 static BC), and a 2400 fps 180 grain round (.178 static BC).

Indeed, the feel is quite unlike the rather parallel sided and blocky USP. The standard HK45 is available with three available finish colors. These include black, olive drab and tan.Recoil (kick) is the rifle's reaction to the action of the bullet being accelerated down the rifle barrel. Recoil is caused by two factors. The first is the bullet itself, which cannot be interfered with. The second is the expanding powder gasses that are pushing the bullet and must also exit the barrel. Muzzle brakes reduce recoil by diverting ...The load that made the .270 Winchester's reputation was a 130 grain spitzer bullet at a muzzle velocity (MV) of 3140 fps. The recoil energy from firing this load in an 8 pound rifle amounts to 16.5 ft. lbs. Although most current factory loaded ammo has backed off a bit on velocity, this level of performance can still be achieved by the reloader.Having read Chuck Hawks' and many other charts over the years, they've all baffled me. This is one of those "real world vs data" things. The felt recoil from my .44 Mag Rossi 92 trapper (16"), while abrupt in heavier loads, is much less than my same configuration 94 Trapper .30-30. "Boom" vs "Ka-Boom!"By Chuck Hawks. Evan Whildin, Vice President of Action Arms, Ltd., designed the .50 AE in 1988.

Doubles tend to belt less because they are on average quite a bit heavier; however design and fit make a difference.The main effect of the reduced load is to drop recoil from 15.2 ft. lbs. (standard load) to 10.4 ft. lbs. (both in an 8.0 pound rifle). This 32% reduction in recoil makes the .260 feel similar to a .243 Winchester load with a 95 or 100 grain bullet, but the .260 is shooting a deep penetrating, highly lethal, 140 grain bullet.To order the latest books by Marshall and Sanow, follow my link to Evan Marshal's Stopping Power web page.

The .444 Marlin has the advantage of using the jacketed and cast bullets for the .44 Magnum, making it a rather flexible design for the handloader. In the shooting sports we call that reaction recoil or "kick." It can be measured or computed empirically and has been for this recoil table. Do not forget that rifle weight is a crucial factor in the recoil equation, inversely proportional to recoil. Increase the gun weight by, say, 25% and the recoil goes down by 25%. With the 165-grain loads mentioned above, the .308 Win. will produce about 17 ft.-lbs. of recoil energy while the .30-06 will produce about 20 ft.-lbs., according to Chuck Hawks' recoil table.

This means that the momentum of a rifle's reaction will exactly equal the momentum of the bullet and powder gasses ejected from the barrel. In the shooting sports we call that reaction recoil or "kick."The resulting .40 S&W cartridge was an immediate hit. It has become one of the most popular handgun cartridges used by US police departments, as well as civilian shooters. .40 S&W Factory loads are offered with 135, 155, 165, and 180 grain bullets. The published ballistics of the 165 grain Remington Golden Saber (JHP) load shows a muzzle ...By Randy Wakeman. When attempting to compare autoloading shotgun actions, it is easy to break them down into two broad categories: Recoil (short and long) and Gas operated. Further, there are compensating actions and non-compensating actions. Whether an auto shotgun is called a gas, recoil, inertia, or whatever, it really isn�t the loading ...The load that made the .270 Winchester's reputation was a 130 grain spitzer bullet at a muzzle velocity (MV) of 3140 fps. The recoil energy from firing this load in an 8 pound rifle amounts to 16.5 ft. lbs. Although most current factory loaded ammo has backed off a bit on velocity, this level of performance can still be achieved by the reloader.The fine-tuning is up to you. According to the exit pupil specs (16mm to 4.6mm), this 2-7 x 35 scope is more correctly a "2.187 by 7.608 power scope," giving you a bit better magnification than you might think. As most middle-aged human eyes can only dilate to about 5mm, this scope is plenty bright enough for most legal hunting hours, even ...By Chuck Hawks. The .240 Weatherby Magnum was introduced in 1968, and it was the last Weatherby caliber introduced while Roy Weatherby was alive. The .240 Weatherby case is unique. It is a standard length and diameter cartridge with a .473" rim diameter, the same as a 30-06, and it will work through any standard length action. Like all ...Moderate recoil makes for accurate shooting, and this has always been the 7x57's forte. According to my Rifle Recoil Table, the 140 grain bullet at 2700 fps in an 8 pound rifle generates about 12.5 ft. lbs. of recoil energy. At 2800 fps the 140 grain bullet fired in the same rifle kicks with about 14 ft. lbs. of energy, still under the 15 ft ...Rifle Information Information about all aspects of rifles and shooting including accessories, accuracy, ammunition and calibers, animals and cartridges, ballistics, bipods and shooting sticks, bullets, competition and marksmanship, custom rifles, dangerous game and protection in the field, hunting and hunting rifles, rifle actions, recoil, rifle reviews and comparisons, selecting and buying ...I doubt Gater is looking for an "exact science" on recoil but rather something that gives an idea of the differences in recoil between the various calibers. ….
