How Much Do Different Calibers Recoil?

Curious about how different calibers stack up in terms of recoil? We put them to the test, from the humble .22LR to the mighty .338 Lapua, and a few in between-for a true apples-to-apples comparison

Same test with a set of classic calibres; 22-250, .243, .270, 30-30, 30-06, 7 Rem Mag, 45-70. Then chart it with this set of current data. Fascinating to physically see the effect of recoil

I've been considering a .300 WM for a while so I am biased to want a comparison to similar cartridges in that spectrum, but I think it would be helpful to everybody to see "all" the caliber recoils on your scaled measuring apparatus. Thanks for the work you put into this video. It's only a few minutes of content (which is nice), but I'm sure the work that goes into it is many many hours.

Any chance we can get the same test but with a 2 or 3 chamber brake? Would love to see if the extra gasses from the higher calibers impart enough force on the brake to even out the recoil between the rounds. Great video as always btw!

@onelegwest Ай бұрын

Curious... The following has to do with trying to capture the timing of the shockwave that's produced when the powder is ignited inside the cartridge. People have already used a pressure sensor which is glued to the outside of the chamber area to measure pressure, but what if another similar sensor was glued to the muzzle and the test equipment was able to determine the delay between when the pressure started at the chamber and when the pressure was detected at the muzzle end? That delay, if measurable, could help one to determine the speed of the shockwave. Thoughts?

@bmstylee Ай бұрын

7mm PRC vs 7mm Rem Mag would be interesting.

@chrisdaniel1339 Ай бұрын

@@bmstylee I mentioned the 7mm SAUM as it has velocity and energy numbers very close to the PRC and Rem Mag, but in a smaller, more efficient, less powder hungry package. To get the most out of the 7 SAUM it really needs a standard length action to be able to shoot todays long, high BC bullets without intruding on the powder capacity and a faster twist barrel. So even though the SAUM is a true short action case length and the PRC is a quasi short action, all three calibers would best in long action rifles. The SAUM has a powder capacity of 72.6 gr H2O, the PRC and Rem Mag are both 82 gr H2O, the SAUM SAAMI spec is 65,000 psi where as the rem mag is 61,000 psi. A small increase in powder in a smaller volume can make a larger change in velocity vs the same powder increase in a larger case. I would not be concerned pushing the SAUM a bit as it was built from the 404 Jeffery case just like the 300 SAUM and the whole Remington Ultra Mag (RUM) family. All three are excellent cartridges for taking any game animal in North America and even many African game species.

What are you hunting?. 6.5cm +7prc or 7mag is a great 2 gun setup. Neither 7prc /6.5prc is fun to shoot for extended time hence the 6.5cm rec, and you don't get better at shooting without practice. 6.5 prc doesn't really offer anything more than 6.5 cm except a third more recoil for only 100/150 more yards and 6.5cm is still a 6-700 yard gun which is plenty. Not a good tradeoff to go for a 6.5prc its kinda in no man's land. You can still shoot the same 147s in 6.5 cm.

Not really scientific but nice visuals. Would be more relevant to measure the force of the recoil against an object over time. If a gun rolls back X inches it doesn't really say much about the force on the shoulder. I also see that the guns are rolling forward after the recoil which means the guns aren't even level, which means gravity also plays a role on how much force is required to move the gun backwards. But for comparisons sure it's a nice way of visualizing for the viewers, I'd be interested to see the effect of muzzle brakes and silencer on the same gun.
