Stupid question about recoil: 1 cartridge vs another

I can rationalize a case for both being the milder recoiling setup. The case for the BR would be less powder, quicker recoil pulse, but maybe a bit more jumpy. For the .243, a lower pressure charge and a longer, but smoother recoil pulse. I can also see how the difference woudn't amount to a hill of beans, as 2850fps is 2850fps.

As noted above, the amount of powder also adds to the recoil. Some of the initial ignition energy goes towards launching the powder column forward, adding to the total recoil.

There is something to be said for shorter duration recoil. The sooner the recoil is over, the sooner you can start to see what's happening downrange.

One example of said 100 year old “bob war” from our land. Most I find is under leaf litter or loam by accident. This was on its side when I found it a few years ago and I propped it up and left it to continue to return to the elements.

From what I can find they don't produce anything. They just import Turkish shotguns, and anyone who has had an issue has a nightmare of a time getting any support from them. I'd spend more and get the Maverick 88 for a budget gun.

My buddy had never owned a gun of any type. He did a plumbing job for me and as a bonus I gave him a Maverick. He thanks me every time he sees me, says ists the first thing he'd grab on the way out if the house was on fire, LOL. In his neighbor hood I can see why.
