Thought I should add a recoil table, so you all don't think I'm a wimp:
Just occured to me it would be an effective tool to compare the guns I'm considering, and the ones I've compared it to, ballistically.

I found it intresting that the Fioochi felt mild compared to some of the loads above it, and, that the 158 plus P was near identical in recoil to the Fioochi, in subjective feeling.
Just occured to me it would be an effective tool to compare the guns I'm considering, and the ones I've compared it to, ballistically.
