Rifle Recoil chart

[lannie]

Chuck Hawks stuff. Lots of other variables to consider but it's a start.

Did not want to derail the first gun thread but this is useful information.
I suggested a 243 on that thread but the best rifle I have for a new or younger shooter is a 250 savage in a RSI, just no current offerings so i did not think it would be applicable.

Because the rifle and bullet weights in the chart are limited, a calculator may be more useful.

You can obtain the approximate powder charge weights from online load data for factory loads..

Everyone wants hardest hitting most penetratrion fastest flattest bullet with minimal wind deflection in the lightest weight most durable platform for the price of an sks.

point blank has a good recoil, ballistics program as well and it is free.
