I took my 870P SBS to the range yesterday to pattern some buckshot loads. I also brought along one box of 1 oz. 6 shot field loads. After shooting the field loads my shoulder was very sore. The recoil was very severe. I was dreading firing the box of Remington 00 buck I had brought, in anticipation of the greater recoil. However, when I shot the buckshot rounds, recoil was not bad at all. It was extremely tame compared to the 1 oz. field loads. Any clue as to why the buckshot would not impart as much recoil to me as the field loads? Buckshot was not a reduced recoil. Standard 9 pellet remington stuff. Field loads were federal 1 oz. #6 loads from walmart. |
