Drift Wrote:I never gave much thought to the recoil from my Grendels. But now I may want to mount and hunt hogs with a Night Optic that is rated for 5.56 recoil but not higher. So I have some choices (1) use a 5.56 (2) find a way to mellow out the Grendel recoil by 3 pounds. The simple choice is to use milder loads and 100gr bullets-but I still won't know the g forces and recoil I'm generating . Another choice is using a heaver hunting rifle. But my questions is is there a simple way of doing it ... like switching recoil springs and buffer?
Do you have a good muzzle break on you Grendel...... I have never really noticed a big difference in recoil.... But I have an HBAR barrel with a 2"machined break in mine.
