Average recoil from a typical 150-grain load at 2,390 feet per second (730 m/s) in a 7.5 lb (3.4 kg) rifle is 10.6 foot-pounds (14.4 J) of felt recoil at the shooter's shoulder, about half that of a comparable rifle chambered for the .30-06 Springfield.
With a standard 150 grain factory load, a 30-30 generates about 11.7 ft. lbs. of recoil.
First off, the . 30-30 is one of the greatest game cartridges ever made. It packs enough punch to solve almost any problem you might encounter. With an effective range of 200 to 300 yards, a single .
243 is a quick, smaller round, that is very popular for deer hunters of all ages. Typically lower recoil, and greater accuracy at longer ranges. . 243 will offer more variety of gun types such as bolt or single shot, when compared to a 30-30.
30-30 has a slight advantage at longer ranges. It's not a long-range powerhouse by any means, but it can be loaded with more aerodynamic . 30-caliber bullets that offer higher ballistic coefficients (BC).
45-70 has substantially more muzzle energy and more retained energy at typical hunting ranges. Since the . 45-70 Government has so much more kinetic energy and shoots significantly larger diameter and heavier bullets, it's clearly the more powerful of the two cartridges.
Energy. Furthermore, the muzzle energy of a . 270 Winchester round averages out to 2700 ft-lb, while a . 30-30 Winchester round averages out to about 1890 ft-lb.
The . 50-110 WCF (also known as the . 50-100-450 WCF , with different loadings) in modern 1886 Winchesters with modern steel barrels is the most powerful lever-action cartridge, with up to 6,000 foot-pounds (8,100 J) of energy.
What is the hardest kicking rifle in the world? That would be the . 950 JDJ with 277 lbs of recoil making the 50 BMG feel like a . 22 long rifle.
On average, the 30-06 will generate 25 ft-lbs of recoil energy while the 270 Winchester will slap your shoulder with 20 ft-lbs force. Although the 270 Win does have less recoil, it's nothing like a 223 Rem!
30-30 was a relatively flat shooter. Able to zero in at 200 yards, lifting a mere 6” at 100 yards, hunters found they could pick off their target from a further distance. This compares to well over twelve inches of variation over the same distance, typical to traditional black powder cartridge of the times.
Overview. 30-30 Repeater is a highly-accurate lever-action sniper rifle that can be fired rapidly and it has a good hip-fire accuracy. It is also chargeable, so the longer trigger pull would guarantee a one-shot kill, otherwise it is mostly two-shot kill against Pilots.
30-30 rifle shoots a 150-grain bullet flat and accurate enough out to 150 yards, and imparts plenty of foot-pounds of energy to hammer a buck on the spot, it does so with negligible recoil.
30-30, the rounds you would use for hunting work perfectly well for home- and self-defense. There are no “special” rounds for this gun. The theory is that if it will drop a deer, bear or boar at 75 yards, it will drop anything.
For instance, among pistols, the Desert Eagle is famous for its felt recoil, while among rifles, the Barrett M82A1 . 50 caliber probably takes the cake. If you are talking about shotguns, 10-gauge shotguns generally deliver the most kick.
300 Winchester delivers about 30.5 foot-pounds of recoil. A same-weight . 30-06 dishes out roughly 22 foot-pounds.
It's the Kalashnikov assault rifle, commonly known as the AK-47. Originally developed in secrecy for the Soviet military, an estimated 100 million AK-47s and its variants have been produced to date.
As the lighter rifle will have more momentum, it will hurt the shoulder more.
The Chauchat machine rifle (CSRG) delivered to the French Army fired the 8mm Lebel cartridge at the slow rate of 240 rounds per minute.
In actual practice, the rifle recoil is much faster. Both are nontrivial and will hurt if you lack technique. The shotgun is slow enough (more projectile weight at lower velocity) to seem more like human scale. It is like being punched by a fit adult.
223/5.56 rounds, . 308, 7.62 x 39mm and even . 300 Blackout are all equally damage-inducing depending on application. The reality of the situation is that for modern uses, there is no one round that does more damage in all situations for all shooters.
380 Auto is the minimum viable caliber many would consider using for self-defense. Of the options I'll cover, it has the lightest bullets (most commonly 90 grain or 95 grain) and a velocity usually slower than 9mm. This makes it easy to shoot, having minimal recoil compared to larger calibers.
A . 30/30 firing 150-grain bullets delivers about 30 percent of additional foot-pounds of energy out to 200 yards over a . 223 shooting 55-grain bullets.
30-378 Weatherby Magnum is the fastest . 30-caliber rifle cartridge in the world. It's about 500 fps (341 mph) faster than a . 30/06 Springfield.
30-30 Winchester rounds - on average - achieve a velocity of about 2370 feet per second (fps) while . 308 Winchester rounds travel at a velocity of 2680 fps.
