I haven't really noticed the recoil of the 22.250 over the course of a day, but then it may be how I am loading it.

My three main powders are RL 7, H 322 and Benchmark, the heaviest charge is 33.5 grains of Benchmark with 50, 53 and 55 grain bullets...
30 grains of H 322 with 60 grain bullets, 53 gr, 50 gr bullets..
30 grs RL 7 for 50 thru 60 grainers... 33.5 grains of RL 7 for 40 grainers...

These are my most accurate loads in each of the ones I have.... recoil and sound is less than the usual 35 grains of so with 4065, 4895 RL 15, and similar powders...

have started using 2015 also, in the same 33.5 max load range....

and yeah, depending on what I am shooting at out in the field... Blue Dot loads get used also... 19 grains Max Load...

if that gets too much, there is always a 223 in the truck. with Blue Dot loads for that also...

my biggest issue is not recoil after a long day, its scope squint... That ended when I started going to 30mm Tube Scopes...
