Holy Shit! A recoil energy factor of 168.5 compared to 19.8 from a 7mm Rem Mag or 24.2 from a .300 Win Mag!! :wow
I'm not really sure what that's good for...
The chance you might run across a real T-Rex in the wild?!?!? :goof
I thought this was an LSx cam video before I opened the link :goof
Home protection? :goofQuote:

Without getting too far into it, an average .308 round uses apx 43 grains of powder with 150 grain bullets. This is talking about 178 grains of powder with a 750 grain bullet. Neat, but I think I'll pass on it! :stare

Pic of the lone round.
From what I was able to find, the energy of the M2 50 cal is about 36 with a brake and about 60 without. Not sure if that's completely valid or not???Quote:

I don't know to tell you the honest truth. I'm just basically reading crap off of charts. www.chuckhawks.com seems to have some decent resources relating to ballistics, recoil, etc. That's usually where I go when I want to kill time and read up on stuff.
