Default RE: muzzleloader recoil
ORIGINAL: huntin4life

I am planning on getting a muzzleloaderbut I have never shot one. I plan on shooting 100 grains of powder with a 250gr sabot. I was just wondering what you would compare the recoil to. I've heard that it is like a 3" 12ga shell but I am not sure. Any input will be appreciated.
A 250-grain bullet with 100 grains of BP or equivalent has just overhalf the recoil of a 12-ga 3" shell, if both are fired from guns weighing the same.
