I was going to calculate the recoil energy of my 870 using slugs with a "max dram" charge. the calculator asks for a number, so I'm not sure what to put in there.
You can't, no max dram actually exists.Deerbuster said:I was going to calculate the recoil energy of my 870 using slugs with a "max dram" charge. the calculator asks for a number, so I'm not sure what to put in there.
Not really. Calculated recoil is not important; felt recoil is what we all care about.Deerbuster said:So the only way would be for me to open up a shell and get a powder scale and see for myself?
Look up your load on its manufacturer's website, and it will give you actual velocity of the load.Deerbuster said:I was going to calculate the recoil energy of my 870 using slugs with a "max dram" charge. the calculator asks for a number, so I'm not sure what to put in there.
