I dont reload so bare with me.
Does a 308,7-08 260, and .243 use the same amount of powder ?

RE: Studying Ballistics Again
so how do the heavier bullets fly damn near as fast as the lighter ones.
And why does the 308 kick harder than say the 243. I mean theyre using the same amount of powder right ?

The 308 kicks harder usually because bullet is heavier generally. The load and the bullet makes up the total mass coming out of the barrel. Bigger mass out of barrel going just as fast as 243, makes bigger boom boom. Bigger boom, makes larger recoil. Opposite effect on your shoulder as out the barrel over larger surface area (stock pad)

If you fired a 100 grain bullet from the 243, the 260, the 7mm-08 and the 308, the recoil difference would be slight indeed. Like BC said though the 260, 7mm-08 and 308, as a rule are firing heavier bullets.
