The 500 weight listed seems heavy. Mine's 10lb 10oz. Feels pretty much like my 458Win Mag in recoil, 105gns at a
just over 2000fps with 570gn Woodleigh.
Calibre / Bullet Weight in Grains / Bullet Velocity in fps / Powder Weight in Grains / Gun Weight in Pounds
570/2000/105/10.63 - Recoil Energy of 68 foot pounds, and Recoil Velocity of 20 fps.Quote:
Of course gun fit would make the world of difference.
True, felt recoil and how the rifle moves back would be determined a lot by the design of the rifle and stock design.
Great Thread..
The above has been my experience as well..just like the universe--it all works together in one degree or another..stock design, powder charge, weight of rifle, bullet, etc...all change the felt recoil..
Have experienced large differences in "felt" recoil shooting same caliber guns in different makes from 300 Win mag to 416 to 470...
