Author John Barsness, writing about expanding bullets in the November, 2010, "American Rifleman" says:
"Every action has an equal and opposite reaction. This is what we feel when a 30-'06 Springfield recoils, the 'equal and opposite reaction' to the bullet leaving the muzzle. Actually our shoulder feels a little more than that, because part of a rifle's recoil is the rocket effect of hot powder gas leaving the muzzle--which the deer doesn't receive."
Is this correct?
