assuming that you talking about a .308 Winchester or the 7.62 NATO round recoil is factor of pure physics the lighter the weapon the greater the free recoil (kick).the heavier the bullet the greater the kick. the higher the velocity the more kick.there are many factors involved in calculating the recoil of any firearm.what does the gun weigh ?what is the barrel length? what is the bullet weight? is the gun a bolt action or auto-matic ? is it gas or recoil operated ? does it have a recoil reducer of some type? how effective is this recoil reducer? knowing the interior ballistics of a cartridge is only the beginning of calculating the recoil and barrel flip of any firearm. in my observation over many years most .308 guns have recoil effect of between 7-15 foot pounds of free recoil energy.
