A firearm and ammunition are a system and must work together.There are different types of ammunition for different types offirearms. Your firearm has been designed for ammunition of aspecific type and a specific gauge or caliber. It is important toselect the proper ammunition for your firearm. Different combinations of bullet velocity, bullet weight and firearmweight can have major impact on felt recoil; high felt recoil can beuncomfortable to some shooters.For example: Firearm Weight: lower firearm weight increases felt recoil. Bullet Weight: higher bullet weight increases felt recoil. Bullet Velocity: higher bullet velocity increases felt recoil.To acclimate yourself to higher levels of felt recoil, considerthe following: Use a firm two-hand hold on the grip when firing. Always start your shooting experience with the lowest bulletvelocity and lowest bullet weight available for your firearm. Ask your firearm dealer to suggest the lowest power, lowestvelocity, lightest bullet weight for your firearm.10
