300 Win Mag all have similar killing power on deer. You can see it at:Ī South Carolina study of deer hunting has shown that center-fire rifles from. The Chuck Hawks rifle recoil table provides a comparison of the recoil energy and recoil speed produced by common rifle loads. 8 pound rifles are average and with lighter rifles, the recoil may be too heavy for most people. 150g and 180g 30-06 bullets are common on store shelves although both are way heavier than is required to kill a deer sized animal. The recoil is also increased for a given bullet as the speed of the bullet is increased. He hunted pheasants with me all the time using a 12 gauge shotgun but the 30-06 was way too much recoil for him.Īll rifles produce more recoil as the weight of the rifle is reduced and as the weight of the bullets they shoot is increased. Surprisingly, he was not a sissy, he just really got hurt.
He even cried in the field and begged his dad to let him go home. He was terribly bruised and never hit a deer although he shot dozens of times. He was the only one in our party who failed to fill his tag. My friend quit hunting for life because his dad made him shoot a 180g 30-06 in a light rifle on his first deer hunt at the age of 14. With 180g bullets, the recoil may be considered excessive by those of slight stature and youth. So much so that I have seen youth handle the 125g reduced recoil load's without pain. The 30-06 is manageable for most adult men when shooting 150g bullets and is much milder with 125g bullets. In general, as recoil increases, accuracy is reduced and if recoil is excessive, shooters even lose enjoyment of shooting and suffer severe bruising.
Few people can shoot accurately with what they consider heavy recoil.
