Why did the recoil stories start, 44 magnum
Recoil is subjective, based on bullet, powder, velocity, and gun weight.
But with a new 629 in 5" barrel... I honestly cant "feel" a difference between 6 grains of BE and a 240 SWC, and 18.5 grains of 2400, or with the fiochi 240 grain sjhp moving at a box speed of 1330 fps.
The fiochi has more noise.. but the same rear ward thrust on my hands, and i have bad hands.
But im just curious as it feels alot like my 40 ounce 357 firing full loads of 2400 and 4227 wih 158 grain swc.
