What is the recoil of a 308?
assuming that you talking about a .308 Winchester or the 7.62 NATO round recoil is factor of pure physics the lighter the weapon the greater the free recoil (kick).the heavier the bullet the greater the kick. the higher the velocity the more kick.there are many factors involved in calculating the recoil of any firearm.what does the gun weigh ?what is the barrel length? what is the bullet weight? is the gun a bolt action or auto-matic ? is it gas or recoil operated ? does it have a recoil reducer of some type? how effective is this recoil reducer? knowing the interior ballistics of a cartridge is only the beginning of calculating the recoil and barrel flip of any firearm. in my observation over many years most .308 guns have recoil effect of between 7-15 foot pounds of free recoil energy.
Which is larger 30 gauge or 20 gauge?
There is no "30 guage" firearm. The term Gauge is used to denote the diameter of a shotgun barrel- the smaller the number, the larger the barrel. Rifles and handguns are denoted in calibers- caliber being one inch, and expressed as decimal fractions in 1/100th of an inch. If you are trying to compare a 20 gauge shotgun to a .30 caliber rifle, the 20 guage is about .690 caliber, versus .308 caliber for the rifle. Shotgun is much gigger in this case. But if there were a 30 gauge, the 20 gauge would be larger.
How much kick power does a 270 calibre rifle have?
Recoil of a firearm is based on how heavy and fast is the bullet, and how much does the firearm weigh. Change any one of the 3, and recoil will change. The AVERAGE .270 Winchester (16.5 lbs recoil) will have less recoil than a 30-06 (17.6 lbs recoil) but more than a .308 Winchester ( 15.8 lbs recoil). How recoil FEELS can be affected by several things, including shape of the stock, recoil control devices (such as pads) which spread recoil over time, etc. Good article for some more reading for you-http:/wwwzperiodzchuckhawkszperiodzcom/recoil_tablezperiodzhtm
Calibre of guns?
well depends what kind of gun here are some,PISTOL:9mm,10mm,.22,25,380,357,40,357sig,50ae,45.RIFLE:22,223,222,308,7.62x39,7.62x54r,338,300,.17,.50,7.62x51nato(almost the same as 308) and 5.45x39.SHOTGUN:.410,12 gauge,16 gauge, 10 gauge.
Why does a rifle have less kick than shotgun?
Recoil (kick) is an example of one of Newton's Laws- remember hearing about action and opposite reactions? The bullet or shot being pushed down the barrel in ONE direction, pushes the gun in the OTHER direction. Rifle bullets are usually smaller (lighter) than shotgun pellets. It is sort of bullet speed times bullet weight, divided by weight of the gun (not exactly, but close). SOME rifles may have more recoil than SOME shotguns. They shoot VERY heavy bullets at high speed. Generally speaking, if you feel a shotgun kicks harder than a rifle, you must be talking about a .22 rifle. Fire a standard load in a 12 gauge shotgun. Then fire a standard load in a rifle chambered for 30.06, or .308 Winchester, or 8mm Mauser, or .303 British, all standard rifle calibers. Then see what you think about a shotgun kicking harder than a rifle.
What is more powerful 308 or 7mm Remington magnum caliber rifle?
Both calibers have alot power but the 7mm is more powerful due to the fact that the bullets of the 7mm are in a higher grain than the .308. The 7mm also has a much higher recoil than the 308 and even the 30-06, both calibers have a high standard of performance but its no question the 7mm remington is more powerful
Which is the better gun a 308 or a 30-30?
Sorry- there IS no "better"- just different. The .308 has more power than the 30-30, and is a longer range cartridge, but also has much more recoil. The 30-30 is popular in lever actions, and is a short, handy rifle for shooting at 200 yards or less.
How does the recoil from a Sako TRG-42 compare to other big calibers like a 300 WinMag or a 308?
Depends on the weight of the rifle and the load fired.
What caliber rifle is most effective for combat use a 223 or 308?
Compared to the 223 Remington, the case volume of the 308 Winchester is increased by approximately 80%. The 308 Win now fires a larger bullet and maintains long-range speed, but at the expense of recoil.
What are the best calibers for white-tail deer?
The answer depends on your sensitivity to recoil. It could be 250 Savage, 270 Winchester, 308 Winchester, 7x57, etc., etc.,

Which caliber is better 308 or 300 win mag?
There is no "one" better anything- including rifle calibers. The .300 Win Mag can fire a heavier bullet a longer distance, but is generally a heavier rifle, has more recoil, and you can carry less ammunition.
