I recently had the opportunity to take my .50 cal Ultra-light out for its first test run. I’ve previously owned a Mountaineer which shot extremely well with 120gr (v) BH209 and Fury 320gr bullets. Since I had that load worked up already, I simply started there with the Ultra-light. I was pretty surprised how much more felt recoil this gun has!
I’m curious if there are any known ways to tame recoil. I researched having a brake put on and reached out to LR Customs, but he said the barrel diameter is too small to safely thread. I looked into installing a Limbsaver pad, but understand the stock pad is glued onto the stock. Do you have any recommendations for how to reduce felt recoil, other than significantly altering my charge volume? My mountaineer did not shoot well below 100-105gr, which is why I started high.
