i honestly cant answer your question, ive just had this gun and been hunting a year or so, so i dont have anything to compare to outside of the ballistics app on my phone. heres a comparison i did, both seem to be the same round, minus the managed recoil designation. everything is zeroed at 150 yards
140 grain remington managed recoil PSP Core-Lokt
@200 yards velocity 2265 energy 1600 ft/lbs drop 2 inches from zero, drop @ 300 yards 13 inches from zero
140 grain remington express PSP core-lokt
@200 yards velocity 2685 energy 2248 drop 1.7 inches from zero, drop @ 300 yards 8.5 inches from zero
just for anyone interested here are the numbers for the load ive been asking about
110 grain federal premium barnes tipped tsx
@200 yards velocity 2917 energy 2100 drop 1.3 inches from zero, drop @ 300 yards 7 inches from zero
as for the kick, its really not bad with the managed recoil loads but like i said, all i can compare it to is a 12 gauge or a .22LR. Im a small guy, bout 5 foot 10 and 140 pounds and i can hit an anitfreeze jug at 200 yards all day off hand so the kick isnt bad enuff to make me flinch enough to miss the can and i usually shoot in a t-shirt and my shoulder gets a little sore after a box of ammo, but its real dull barely noticable and gone after a few hours. hope that helps
