This lad was going to shoot this high recoil 450 bushmaster rifle free-hand. I asked, вЂњIf you like it so well how about shooting it.вЂќ He grabbed the Mossberg and I handed him a box of 450 bushmaster ammo. I hoped that this adjustment would put it in the bullseye.ДЄ young man named Jordan Caulk came along. He put some muscle on it and the adjustment knob must have clicked 10 times. One fellow took a look at my scope problem. There were several customers and employees at the basement shooting range. The next day, I paid a visit to the Gunslingers Gun Shop. I doubted that I could do it and would have to drive 112-miles just to try. In one week I would expect to put three bullets within two-inches of dead center to qualify for a nature preserve hunt. Actually, I was not hitting the bullseye consistently. I was aiming four-inches high at 50-yards to hit the bullseye. The elevation reticle had been adjusted up as far as it would go. Try turkey loads if you want to rearrange dental work.I had it shooting good enough to kill two deer last season with a couple of flaws.

There are too many variations of Loads and Guns to get it all but the tables will give you a good estimate, and if you read the article it will tell you where they got their information so you can make the calculations yourself for the shotgun or rifle and the loads you were shooting vs. As he stated, there are different types of perceived recoil based on the speed of the power and primer, venting etc. However, there is a lot that goes into 'felt recoil'. It's good you're thinking this thru, you don't want to develop a flinch. 25-06 will typically have 11-13ftlbs of recoilДЄ 12 gauge with 3in or 3.5in slugs is going to have the max recoil of anything typical in North America (sorry 10gauge lovers, we're not typical anymore). 55g 223 yet ALMOST light enough to put the butt of the rifle on my chin as I fire it in an 8 pound rifle. I consider recoil of 75g bullets to be about twice the recoil of a. 223 but you have to remember that you get hunting knockdown power comparable to a 30-06 and effective varmint range out to 1000 yards too. These recoil levels are about four times that of a 55g. The recoil for each of these is about the same for comparable bullet weights in a. I reserve 115g- 120g bullets for elk or 1000 yard target/varmint shooting. The Chuck Hawks chart shows 100g and 120g bullets (with 11 and 12 foot pounds of recoil energy) but I shoot 75g 25-06 bullets most of the time for target/varmint shooting, 87g for coyotes and antelope and 100g for deer. Overall I'd say that a 25-06 has recoil more similar to a. Please keep in mind that perceived recoil varies considerably based on rifle weight and bullet weight. Referring to the Chuck Hawks Rifle Recoil Chart you will see comparisons for most cartridges. I agree, a 12 gauge has more recoil than a 25-06.
