not really because my weatherby with a 220gr bullet still generates more recoil.... if both rifles weigh the same. and actually if you run the calc, if you put a 225 gr up against a 250gr and use the same amounts of powder for both, there is only 3ftlbs difference not several.... |

You're right. I hadn't run the calculations in about two years and I was off by about 5 ftlbs. Its 33.5 ftlbs for the 250 Speer and about 30ftlbs for the 225 gr Sierra. My sincerest apologies. Thanks for the correction. I also didn't take into consideration the 220gr bullet in the Weatherby. Bet it hits like a ton of bricks.

i dont use them, ive stuck to 180gr stuff, they are so much more accurate, besides, if i need anything heavier than 180gr i reach for a bigger gun which is where my .375H&H comes in. i am a big fan of the .35whelen though. |

Opinion,untempered by fact,is ignorance.
There are some who do not fear death... for they are more afraid of not really living |
