This could be a dumb question, but what has more recoil:
A single shot 20ga. like the ultra slug hunter or A .325 WSM bolt action My guess is the .325 but those 20ga. H&R's seem to really kick hard too. Are they at least close? |

I never shot a .325 but the 20g H&R isn't that horrible. Now the 12ga is a different story. __________________ The bowman, to be successful as a hunter, must learn to perfection the habits of his game.

Too many variables to be able to get an accurate idea of recoil.
Rifle weight, bullet weight and velocity all determine real recoil. Things like stock shape and clothing can alter perceived recoil. If i had to take a stab at it, i'd say that the 20ga. kicks harder. |

Here's some info I found for comparision, hope this helps:
How Does The .325 WSM Stack Up? Most elk hunters know you need a hard-hitting, deeply penetrating bullet to put these big deer down quickly. For years, .300 magnums shooting 180- to 200-grain bullets have been our most popular elk rounds, but a significant number of hunters like the extra punch of the .338 Win. Mag. and even the .375 H&H. The extra energy of the 250- and 300-grain bullets in these cartridges adds that extra bit of insurance, but you pay for it with extra recoil or extra-heavy rifles. Winchester's efficient new .325 WSM promises the best of both worlds. With 200-grain bullets, it shoots as flat as the .300 Win. Mag. and hits slightly harder than the .338 with less recoil. Felt recoil is subjective, but when I subjected my shoulder to a half-dozen rounds of .325 WSM 200-grain Accubonds off the bench, I didn't think the M70 kicked any more than a .300 Win. Mag. in a similar-weight rifle. My hunting partners judged it about the same. The table below lists actual recoil (not perceived) with a 200-grain bullet at maximum velocity in an eight-pound rifle. Velocities in fps; energies in ft.-lbs. CALIBER / MUZZLE VELOCITY / RECOIL ENERGY / RECOIL VELOCITY .300 Win. Mag. / 2,860 / 34 / 16.5 .325 WSM / 2,960 / 32 / 16 .338 Win. Mag / 2,960 / 35 / 17 The difference is due to the lighter powder charge in the more efficient short magnum case, about 10 grains less than in the longer magnums. Here are downrange trajectory/energy figures for the same bullets with 250-yard zero. Ranges in yards, trajectory in inches. http://www.huntingmag.com/big_game/elk325_052605/index1.html Petersen's Hunting © 2008 InterMedia Outdoors, Inc. All Rights Reserved. |

Ok never shot the other gun but I use the ultra slug hunter to shotgun hunt its like shooting a 22. I think because the gun is so heavy but it doesnt kick you wont even feel it with a jacket on. __________________ If you will not stand behind U.S. soldiers, please feel free to stand IN FRONT of them.

SOrry i didnt read the bottom of your post where it said the h&rs seem to kick hard i know for a fact the 20 gauge ultra slug doesnt kick hardly at all. But I also have a h and r 20 gauge that is extremely light that kicks like a 20 gauge. __________________ If you will not stand behind U.S. soldiers, please feel free to stand IN FRONT of them.
