Home Forums Hunting & Shooting Hunting Rifles 9.3x62's disappearing

I don’t know what a whole lot more is but in a 7.25 lbs rifle with 300 gr loads below are some approximates:

338 Win Mag
Recoil Impulse: about 4.7 lbs-sec
Recoil Velocity: about 21 fps
Recoil Energy: about 49 ft-lbs

9.3x62
Recoil Impulse: about 4.3 lbs-sec
Recoil Velocity: about 19 fps
Recoil Energy: about 42 ft-lbs

While the 338 Win Mag shows a bit more, both are fairly stout in a 7.25 lbs rifle setup. Both being close to what a 375 H&H yields in a 8.5 lbs rifle with 300 grain loads.
