[QUOTE="ssgrock3, post: 691106, member: 71"] not sure if I am miss reading the above or what, but in for example a .40, the lighter bullets (135-155gr) have more "snap" or felt recoil than a 180gr round. I find heavier loads are easier to shoot. Now in big bore rifles, the extreme heavy loads will have more felt recoil. Ex: 400+ gr .45-70 will definately have more recoil than a lighter load. Guess it is all relative and depends on how You load the ammo, but this is my experience with factory ammo. I have loaded some 147gr 9mm that would drop at your feet when it extracted. [/QUOTE]
