Felt Recoil

[vwfool]

Back in the late 80's or early 90's Gun Digest had an article and table comparing the levels of felt recoil of various different rifle calibers and shotgun gauges. It was simply measured in ft.lbs. of force.

Does snyone know where a online version of this chart can be found???
