Most people when they don't have any experience nor the slightest clue about what they are talking about are content to keep their mouths shut. I realize that this would cut down your post count by about 95% but you really should try it.


I think Redbeard308's experience and description is excellent. The 9,3x62 recoils about like a 12guage with stiff loads.

Still shooting 289gr bullets at over 2400fps and 250gr bullets at 2650 using 61 to 63grs of powder and in a 8.5lb rifle does generate recoil in the 30-34ft lbs range. By comparison a 300mag shooting a 180gr bullet at 3000fps is around 25ft/lbs or so. There's more to recoil than just the numbers though, how the stock fits, how good of a recoil pad and other factors contibute to how recoil feels to an individual. To me the 9,3x62 feels heavy but slower in recoil, and the slower makes it a more comfortable to shoot than some of the hot mags...............................dj

Swmapnipples, your baseless drivel....it is quite apparent that facts never enter into anything you post.
