Home Forums Hunting & Shooting Ask The Gunwriters Recoil ft. lbs question.

Well, I went with 2900 fps for the 30/06 and 2750 fps for the 7/08. You're looking at approx. 21 ft/lb for the /06 and 17 ft/lb for the 7/08. For comparative purposes, these are close enough. The 06 will give a bit more kick, but not much.

Safe Shooting!
