Rating Felt Rifle Recoil...

[Big joe]

I have always been intrigued by recoil. I have looked at the math and it all makes sense... but when you squeeze that trigger, sometimes your rifle seems to have its own math. I remember being surprised that my 30-30 Win was a little uncomfortable to shoot compared to my 270 Win. Also, I had heard how brutal the 300 Win recoil was and I finally shot a freinds out of curiosity. I was really surprised at how easy it was to shoot for me. So much so, I ran out and bought one. Maybe I was just built up too much for the recoil. I realize their are a lot of other factors.. but its just odd how the math doesnt always seem to be supported by your shoulder. So, just for fun... if you have shot any the following cartidges... rate them in order of least to most "felt" recoil! Remember... this is "FELT" recoil, not withstanding the math ...here they are...

.270 Win, 30-30 Win, 308 Win, 30-06 Sprg, 7mm Rem mag, 300 Win, 338 Win

Feel free to add to the list if you have shot different calibers than those listed...


look forward to seeing your opinions....


Thanks
