120/123 .264” vs 147 recoil?

[TimberHunter]

Currently shooting 147 in a 6.5cm. Spotting shots prone isn’t an issue. Kneeing/seated spotting is tricky where a 223/77 is much easier.

Does any one have actual experience in felt recoil between 120 and 147 in a 6.5cm? Recoil data doesn’t show a massive difference

I shot 120s instead of 140/147 in an NRL one-day match.

The difference wasn't super noticeable to me.

Very negligible between my hot 143 hand loads compared to factory 130s and 120s imo

The difference between 95's and 108's is noticeable, but not a huge difference.

I've not shot 147s but in my gas gun I can't really tell any difference between 140 vs 120.

I have noticed a difference between 140’s with RL26 and 130’s with RL16 and even less recoil with 110’s and varget.
This was in a 22” ruger American predator with the Boyd’s prairie hunter stock and suppressor. Obviously this stock design is not ideal for recoil mitigation.

From a felt recoil perspective I would say 110’s have 30% less recoil despite going 300fps faster

I guess I’m in the minority.
Out of my tikka, I thought 147’s definitely had a different recoil impulse compared to 130’s. Enough that out of a lighter hunting gun I spot the 130’s much more consistently.

I’m also not running either load on the edge of pressure which I think helps.
