Just for $hz & j|||ۤ I run the recoil values on mine and my wife's rifles, as fired from the bench, anytime we build a new load.
I use ……https://shooterscalculator.com/ for the majority of my theoretical bullet drops, velocities, energies, ect @ distance as well as recoil values! memtb
Example for my rifle:

Thanks for responses guys
I found the type of powder/charge effecting recoil interesting
Cuz, the way I understand that, is; it means you could be putting up w more recoil than whats required to do the same job
When I say same job:
I'm referring to your rifle, with "certain" bullet at "certain" speed.
Different powders will produce different recoil amounts.
Very interesting stuff.
I usually look for a high load density and powder that's not what I call touchy = when you make a small adjustment in powder charge and see a drastic difference, in speed or pressure signs, I'm not a fan of that

91.0 grains of powder!
Jeeze that's a heavy amount

Big boy rifle....
I will soon experiment with Berger 250/300 and Chinchage 350 on my 338 Thor (NMI), requiring similar powder charges.
From experience. 338 ultra. 300 ultra. Twin rifles
180 projos.
Both 3500 fps mv.
The 300 has significantly more felt recoil.
And I'll add, the 300 has to be pushed harder to get that velo.
Now let's ask ourselves, if we had a 7 ultra rifle of the same specs, could it push a 180grn 3500?
