Managed recoil,well they are just downloading the cartridge. Which in turns takes away from its orginal capabilites that it was designed for. If the recoil is too much for you,put a recoil pad on the gun,or go to a different cal.Its not fair to you to be shooting any caliber that one has to shoot recoil reduced loads. Its like driving your car with the brakes on. As far a the bullet impact is higher on your target its because your load is reduced and the bullet is in a more arcing plane to reach the target at that distance. vangunsmith
