Thread: .303 rifle recoil, sore shoulder

More rounds down range is the solution, once bruising subsided. Bit of regular practice and won't know yourself. Try to incorporate using sling, allow rifle to go through recoil pulse and ideally coming back approximately onto target, your technique is sound.

There does seem to be more perceived recoil out of HXP Greek at 2500 fps than say a 174gr reload at 2400 to me, even though one would think there shouldn't be much in it?

I thought it improved my shooting on light recoiling rifles as shooting the brass buttplate three'O exposes flaws in shooting technique that are not clearly obvious otherwise with modern setups as tend to mitigate to dome degree, but are still there.
