This sounds very interesting. I am suffering velocity loss because of the energy required to cycle the action? Then how much energy/velocity loss is caused by recoil itself, even in a bolt gun? A heavy recoiling rifle or shotgun, bolt or semi-auto, expends a lot of energy in coming back to thump the shooter. How much velocity does that cost?
So, if I place the butt of my 30-06 against a tree to prevent recoil motion I should see a velocity gain when fired, as compared to firing from my sholder? Hmmm...
How much velocity do I gain when shooting road signs and mailboxes from my truck traveling 60 mph?
This is giving me a headache.
