Anyone have any info on Low Recoil bullets. Good, bad, or snake oil.
I assume you are referring to CARTRIDGES with reduced loads, intended to give lower recoil than ones with a full charge? (If so, it is best when asking such a question to refer to loaded rounds of ammunition as "ammunition" or "cartridges" etc., since the term "bullet" refers ONLYto the projectile which is launched into the air, and not to a complete round of ammo. Only members of the press can call a cartridge a "bullet" and expect people know what they are trying to say!!
I am NOT trying to be a wise-guy! I am merely commenting that it is easier to give a good answer to an inquiry if the question is understood correctly!
To answer what I think you are asking: I have not fired any of this "reduced recoil" ammo. But I can make it with my reloading equipment. All that is necessary is to use only the amount of powder needed to give the desired velocityand consequent recoil level.
I am sure Remington, (or whoever), can do the same! However, there is a penalty to be paid in terms of reduced terminal performance on game. But, if you are merely shooting holes in paper, it really makes sense to use only as much power as needed to give the requisite accuracy at the range you are shooting.
