The trouble with this formula is that most people don’t know the powder charge unless they hand load their own ammunition, and all of the other number depend on several factors. This formula relies on the formula for recoil velocity, which is simply (Bullet Weight In Grains * Muzzle Velocity in FPS + Powder Charge in Grains * Muzzle Velocity * 1.75)/(7000 * Rifle Weight in Pounds). The formula for determining the free recoil energy of a firearm is (Rifle Weight in Pounds/64.34) *(Recoil Velocity in FPS^2). Without further ado, I give you… the rifle recoil database! Cartridge Selecting a rifle and cartridge combination which does not produce too much recoil for the shooters is critical to being able to shoot accurately without developing a flinch. Recoil is measured by free recoil energy, and recoil velocity. It is commonly called a gun’s “kick.” More recoil is created when more powerful powder loads and lighter-weight firearms are used. Recoil is the force of a gun pushing back against the shooter when a bullet is fired. I created it because other recoil databases I found online are dated and do not have the depth of research to truly compare cartridges apples-to-apples.įor those of you who are new to firearms, let’s discuss the basics of what recoil is before we look at the data. I have spent literally hundreds of hours collecting the information in this blog post.
