I know my buddies are probably right when they say I gotta man up, but for now, I am trying not to develop a flinch as I am normally a Dasher kind of guy. Stock models fit in the rifle or shotgun stocks and are drilled and tapped 1/4'-28 tpi for easy installation and removal. which means the recoil-fighting performance is consistent in almost all weather conditions. He even did load work up with mine before the brake arrived. Mercurys viscosity varies only 1 from 0 F. He don't know he has fired unless it is with a big bruiser. RGRandy, you sound like a shooting buddy of mine who I use to help with load development. RGĪ "rule of thumb" which seems to hold-up when using brakes - more velocity produces a greater % of reduction. Now, that 'snap" was akin to carpal tunnel syndrome!Ī "rule of thumb" which seems to hold-up when using brakes - more velocity produces a greater % of reduction. I cannot see why, on a 17# rifle (70% more mass than a Hunter Rifle), recoil would be intolerable. I always attributed the "snap" to the kinetic energy/speed, as the rearward motion died off rather quickly. Using the same technique, and the same bullet, I have never suffered this when shooting a 30x47 HBR, at 3100 FPS, vs. The "killer" aspect, and the main reason I quit shooting that barrel, was the punishment delivered to my wrist, as the hand was "batted" away: the secondary reason was that I either won, or, lost based upon decision making, not the "edge" the increased velocity provided. I shot that rifle without shoulder contact, but with my thumb resting - lightly - at the action-tang/stock junction: I never experienced intolerable recoil to my shoulder I'd estimate it well below the "normal" level for the same bullet, via a 30x47 HBR chambered barrel, more similar to something like a 6mm Rem.

The maximum weight of a Hunter Rifle is 10.0 Lb., inclusive of sights, etc. 300WSM chamberd barrel to one of my "Hunter Rifles", complete with a VIAS muzzle-brake. I am just worried about whether either might adversely effect accuracy in 1000yd BR.īTW, I fire semi freecoil and get hammered when the stock hits my shoulder.ĭuring one season, when muzzle-brakes were legal for NBRSA Registered Hunter Hunter Class tournaments, George Myer fitted a Lilja 1:17" twist. I would be keen to try these as I have a bit of weight to spare and the rifle is slightly muzzle heavy. How about the mercury recoil reducers which slip inside the butt? Has anyone tried these? Did they have any effect on accuracy? Could you feel any difference? What do these do that a thick soft recoil pad like the Limbsaver pad wont do?Has anyone tried them?

I have thought about the Gracoil and Ken Ruckers recoil reducing butt plates but have not seen them used in competition. I have been trying a 300WSM LG which still kicks pretty bad even with a brake fitted. These Mercury recoil reducers do indeed work as advertizedI think this calculation is interesting but basically a little too simplistic.-Rob.
