Recoil and POI Internet Expert, "This is generally attributed to the lighter bullet leaving the barrel sooner, before the gun has had a chance to rise AS MUCH as it will with a heavier bullet." This was a comment made by someone in a thread about 30-06 impacts hitting in the same height. This person asserts that heavier bullets hit higher because of recoil; faster bullets hit lower, slower ones hit higher. So I made a video of a lighter bullet hitting higher than a heavier bullet in the same rifle with the same POA. The 110gr traveling at 2177fps hit 8.75" higher at 100 yards than the 168gr traveling at 1080fps. That is opposite of what the internet expert predicted. Evidently the laws of Internet Expert physics don't apply to my 30-30. I did a test with the 357 also but the video was too large to display so I have a picture. img.photobucket.com The test was with my 357 using 125gr bullets traveling at around 1400fps, against the 158gr bullets traveling at about 1050fps. My ballistic calculator predicted that the 158gr bullets would impact about 1 inch higher than the 125gr bullets at 25 yards with a 100 yard zero.(My pistol is zeroed at 100 yards with the 158gr cartridges.)The calculator doesn't calculate recoil but instead ballistics. It was correct. I only had 3, 125gr bullets so I was limited in the test. And my calculator does not calculate from the muzzle so I needed to calculate with a zero that is uncommon for both bullet weights. No matter what zero the 158gr ...
