And damn. I know I'm not as young as I used to be, but hell. It's got kick. So off I go to find my old shotgun recoil chart, and oops. 24 pellets at 40 grains per equals 960 grains. Almost 2 and a quarter ounces.
Duh. And I'm wondering why my follow up shots aren't faster. We're talking the recoil of .458 Winchester. Now, time was I paid little attention to recoil. WAS being the operative word here. After 20 rounds I don't mind telling you that a wee bit of soreness creeps in, so maybe I'm as fast as I'm gonna be. But if I can keep the loads to an ounce and a half I'll probably see a noticeable increase in follow up, so its off to the store. Now I know why guys roll their own.
| Shot Number | Pellet Diameter (Inches) | Average Pellet Weight (Grains) |
| 4 | .24 | 20.6 |
| 3 | .25 | 23.4 |
| 2 | .27 | 29.4 |
| 1 | .30 | 40.0 |
| 0 | .32 | 48.3 |
| 00 | .33 | 53.8 |
| 000 | .36 | 68.0 |
