The 110's shoot very nicely and I will hunt with them for the 2004 season. In the fall of 2003 using the 125's and worked with 110's this summer. I knew going in that I would not load heavyīullets in my. This really isn't about the Ruger Compacts but working with them prompted aīrief study in recoil and velocity. When Kyle showed the -08 to his buddy up the street, his buddy promptly ordered He bought the stainless laminated model which weighs 1/2 pound more He was my first customer when I got my FFL and he purchased a Ruger Compact My brother Kyle fell in love with it the first time he saw it. In 2002, I purchased a Ruger Compact in 308. Where Doubling Weight only Doubles Energy So further discussion on recoil and accuracy. Still it is interesting and for me, just one more reason to love the 243. Weight combined with a huge increase in velocity attribute to the gain in energy. The chart above, the 2 bullets listed for the 243 produce 1426 lbs and 1328 I knew I should not have started this because my brain goes into overdriveĬrunching the numbers, I discovered that only in the 243 shooting the lightestīullet, actually reduces recoil and increases bullet energy at 100 yards. You can see that the weight of the gun is just about a pound for pound trade This chart assumes the "lightest" bullet in it's class on the lightīullet and "typical" bullet on the heavier bullet. A phone call from him I will never forget. It unfortunately but he called me that evening and was as excited as a kidĪt Christmas. 130 grain Sierra bullet fired from his 30-06. My father has since passed away but the last deer he shot (1999) was a 1 shot Come next fall, you should be able toĭrive nails with that old deer rifle that you just can't give The goal here is to reduce recoil so that you enjoy practicing. To say that it can't be done, but this is a realistic approach. Stories of killing large game with a rimfire, not
Is lighter at the expense of down range energy loss.īefore you decide that you can't accept reduced energy, consider that improvedīullet placement greatly compensates for lower energy. By reducing the bullet weight and velocity, recoil Simply reducing the bullet weight but leaving velocity highĬan still leave recoil high. Maybe even less bullet, if I get the time. My project for the summer is to do some extensive testing with 130 grain bullets, Have to work on 30 years of flinch with him. This was a good improvement and he is shooting better at the range. The results, a 3.9 pound reduction in felt recoil, now around 15 pounds with In the fall of 1997, I convinced my dad to drop back to 150 grain bullet in his 30-06. I will just let the computer do it for me, The formula in it's self is complex and beyond my comprehension, but Other factors include rifle weight, velocity, and powder velocity. Most significant factors being volume of powder charge and bullet Recoil is a result of a combination of things, with probably the two The animal deserves that and so does the sport. If you insist on the need for a large caliber rifle with brute force and knock down power, learn to shoot it well. Anyone can get out there and throw lead in the air and compensate for poor bullet placement with brute force but where's the challenge and humanity in that? And bullet placement is what seperates the men from the boys. My point is that confidence and comfort with a rifle go hand-in-hand with bullet placement. If I were a deer, I would be more concerned about this guy hitting me at 75 yards with a rimfire than I would be about the average guy at the shooting range with his "deer rifle".īecause this guy can put the bullet in the "clean kill zone."
Rifle recoil table how to#
He knew how to do it, not from shooting competitions or from lots of trial and error but from years of shooting a rimfire. Did I mention this was with open sights? Now this guy no doubt was an excellet shot. These weren't big fat weeds either but more like tall grass. No joke, he would point out the weed and then saw it in half with a little 40 grain bullet. I stood and watched a buddy of mine shoot weeds with a Marlin lever action 22. You can stand there all day and blast tin cans, paper or whatever and the recoil never comes to mind. I contend that the real reason is the low noise level and abscence of recoil. Sure that is a big factor but if we were trying to save money, we wouldn't shoot at all. The number one selling ammunition in the world is 22 rimfire.
