![]() ![]() H4198 seems perfect for 7.62x39 and IMR-4198 isn't bad, but really works the gas system more. H4198 is slightly slower than IMR-4198, but IMR-4198 produces more gas pressure at the gas port. They cut thru most of the muscles for the neck/shoulders posterior and could be up to 2 years before I get back to full strength, if at all. It’s really more about what I can handle as far as strength, pain and soreness after. I was given no restrictions by my surgeon after 6 months. What twist are you shooting 30 gr in your wife’s rifle? I was thinking lowest I could go was 40 gr. I’ve only gone down to 55gr with the 1-8 twists. The real question is this - if you're injured and not yet healed, should you be shooting centerfire? Would you be better off shooting rimfire (using a CMMG rimfire adapter) or not shooting until you are healed? I use a light charge of TAC or whatever is on hand. They are available, very accurate, inexpensive and offer very low recoil.īarnes sells Varmint Grenades as low as 30 gr which I use for my wife's rifle, as she is a bit recoil sensitive (infrequent shooter). You can get some super-light varmint bullets and use a minimal powder charge behind them. *question for the hive* what happens when you use start charges, with pistol primers, and work down? This might avoid the primer backing out as normal with weak loads, and at low pressures the thinner cups shouldn’t be an issue with piercing or etching the bolt face. You probably don’t want to go messing with that sort of thing when you already have enough medical problems… The concept is very sketchy to me and I suppose I’m just not that adventurous. Which is a whole can of worms I don’t really want to get myself into. I do believe that there is a small-bore version of “the load” (using a decent charge of a specific pistol powder in full bore cartridges). They tend to produce less felt recoil in full power loads. I’d start with the lightest bullets you can get. I don’t know about cycling incredibly light loads, but you could probably get pretty stupid if you want to start opening up gas ports, using an ultralight buffer, and why not add a silencer (which will also add gun weight to reduce felt recoil, if you can still hold it up). Seriously, why not just a 22lr? Even a 22mag? Besides the cost of ammo… My thinking on the bullets was this:Īny other recommendations are appreciated. Light or Heavy? I’ve read all things being equal (same Power Factor Vel x Weight) a heavy bullet is less recoil but a heavy bullet on a light gun produce more recoil than a lighter bullet? 223 light/reduced loads with these?Īll 3 guns are 1-8 Twist. I can get my hands on H335, IMR 4895, IMR 4198, CFE BLK, H110 pistol. I do know Trail Boss and H4895 can be reduced but probably won’t cycle the AR system. So is it even worth doing in the first place?Ģ What powder can be reduced? I don’t know powders. 223 light/reduced load I’m assuming I will have to up the AGB gas to cycle the system, which will increase the recoil. They all shoot soft but I’m down the rabbit hole now and want to go even further with light/reduced loads if it will reduce recoil more.ġ. I also have a 16” middy with LW barrel/BCG/buffer. Both have AGBs, are carbine buffer, rifle-length gas and have good 3 port brakes. The 20” is a bull barrel, full BCG, flatwire spring and H2 buffer (14 lbs). The 18” has a lightweight barrel/BCG/Buffer, reduced power spring (7 Lbs.). I’m 8 months post op and so far I’ve been only able to bench shoot with a lead sled but I’m not a fan of it. They put 2 rods and 12 screws in my neck to stabilize it. ![]() The reason is I had a neck injury last year and needed 6 level posterior fusion. Our site is for individuals at least 18 years old.I’m looking for the lowest possible recoil that will still cycle my AR15s. Propellants are chosen for each individual load, and every offering must provide the very best accuracy and temperature stability to ensure that whether you’re hunting in Alaska or Africa, you will get the performance and accuracy needed to take that trophy of a lifetime. Hornady uses only premium propellants, and isn’t married to one particular powder vendor, so when decisions are made for specific loads, the ONLY consideration is performance. As with all Hornady products, only the highest quality raw materials are used and our manufacturing process and quality control procedures lead the industry in consistency and efficiency. Cartridge CasesĪll Hornady ammunition is loaded using premium cartridge cases, with most being made on-site at the Hornady case production plant. World record setting accuracy, innovative new products, ultra-high ballistic coefficients, unprecedented terminal performance, and lot-to-lot consistency all combine to set Hornady bullets apart from the competition. The bullet makes the cartridge, and Hornady bullets are peerless. ![]()
