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.
