Sorry if it's a repost...

bunch of guys trying to shoot a .577 T-Rex.

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...

[DirtyMax]

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

Any idea how that compares to the recoil energy coming out of a M2 50 cal? Thats heavy as hell and will walk a tri pod back in the sand really easy.

Heres some load data on this bad boy.

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

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???

Hmm, is recoil energy calculated just by the amount of powder and the size of the bullet? I guess if it take into account the weight of the gun and any moving parts that would explain it being that low.

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.
