Alright - don't throw stuff at me, but... I searched to find the "stupid marksmanship" forum without success.
My gut is saying yes to my question, but I'm defering to the experts here on the Hide.
So here goes:
Will recoil be equal in 2 different cartridges/calibers if:
1. The rifle is exactly the same - stock, weight, etc.
2. The same powder and charge is used: example H4350 44.2 grains
3. The same bullet weight is used with roughly the same desgin - i.e. eld vs eld or Nosler BT etc.
Example:
6.5 creed shooting 130 vs 270 shooting 130 - using H4350 at 42 grains - won't they both have equal recoil energy?
6.5 creed shooting 100gr vs 6 creed shooting 100gr - using H4350 42 grains - same recoil?
So, what I'm getting at - within reason - bore diameter aside recoil will be equal as long as bullet weight and charge are the same.
Thanks
