My wife's nephew is 28 years old and live in Boise, Idaho. He told my wife he had gotten a 300 Win Mag for hunting up there. I thought, huh? Larger game way up there I reckon. Then he told her he had applied for a license to get a suppressor to reduce the recoil. I've been messing around with firearms for 60 or more years and never have come across that theory. At first blush I thought "That won't work". But I have a limited experience with suppressors, and maybe since it bleeds off the gas sideways, I don't know.
So, I thought I'd see what y'all thought. Will a suppressor reduce felt recoil?
