Analyze over a dozen models of rifles chambered in each cartridge to determine the average rifle weight to put in the formula. If you’re shooting a particularly light or heavy firearm, you’ll need to do a separate calculation, but this will be a fair comparison of what the rifle weight normally is.
Guns and Shooting Online has compiled an extensive table comparing the recoil of many rifle cartridges and bullet weights in rifles of various weights
Chuck Hawks presents this extremely comprehensive Expanded Rifle Recoil Table that covers a multitude of rifle cartridges and loads.
The following table provides rifle recoil energy, recoil velocity and recoil score of various rifle cartridges based on respective projectile weight, projectile velocity, powder charge and rifle weight.
Rifle Recoil Table. The following chart assumes an 8 pound gun weight. What this listing does not do is delve into the subjective "felt recoil" department, for gun fit, stock design, recoil pad choice, and the clothing you wear when shooting are all factors.
In the recoil table below, we'll go over the recoil scores of some of the most popular rifle calibers. While the exact numbers will vary based on specific bullet weight, muzzle velocity, and rifle weight, the numbers listed below are based on an average of each of those factors.
The recoil kinetic energy figures below are taken from the Rifle Recoil Table and the Shotgun Recoil Table. Note that the most powerful shotgun loads generate recoil comparable to elephant rifle cartridges.
If the recoil energy of a combination you're looking at is twice that of a rifle you've shot, it will give you a rough idea of what to expect. To help guide you, we've prepared a chart that will show approximately how much recoil energy you can expect from a particular velocity and bullet weight.
The following table provides rifle recoil energy, recoil velocity and recoil score of various rifle cartridges based on respective projectile weight, projectile velocity, powder charge and rifle weight.
Looking to see how much recoil energy your handgun, rifle, shotgun, or other firearm produces? The recoil calculator below gives you a way to estimate and compare the recoil of any firearm.
