303 V 762 recoil

Without watching the vid:

174gr bullet from full sized case vs 123gr bullet from intermediate case. Anyone surprised there is a difference in recoil generated?
 
In other news, we’re almost, kinda, sorta, pretty sure that a 12 gauge will kick more than a 22LR. We will need to do some testing to confirm. Come on WhelanLad, are there really people out there that don’t realize that a bullet that’s basically 50% bigger, with 50% more powder fired out of what is most likely a lighter rifle will kick more?
 
You guys can’t read? He said same size projectile but of course different powder charge, so the bullet is not 50% heavier!!

My apologies….you’re right. Had to watch it twice to catch that. Went by kind of quick, and I was paying attention to the background. Definitely more powder as he says. And….lighter rifle?

Same bullet driven to different velocities ... leads to different amount of felt recoil. No chit! Especially considering the energy formula squares the velocity.

Yea, me too and a 308 vs 303 comparison would be something worthwhile. 303 vs 762x39 is a pointless comparison. Might as well compare 45-70 vs 223 and be amazed that 45-70 has more recoil.

that would be visually more orgasmic than talking about both the figures 2ft/lb an 66ft/lb..... an the comparison between the two in the first place lol


difference between the 303 an 308 would be depending on the 303 platform used .. v how hot rodded the 308 load an how light the rifle was .. otherwise splitting fine furs my friend

Ahahaha. And here I thought we were talking .303 vs .308

Considering the x39 is close to 30-30 in power, yah almost anything kicks harder

aint got the 308 but coincidently i shot 7-08 an 303 side by side.... and ironically, they are both loaded with the same Gr of Varget- one is 180gr and one is 140gr projectiles.... fair differene there also

I’ve always found my 180gr .303 Brit a bit more punchy than my 180gr .308 rifles, that said my .308’s all have nice factory recoil pads unlike the brass plate my no.4 LE has. My .303 is much heavier than most of my .308’s, none of them are punishing but noticeably different between the two cartridges.
