Then there's the pressure curves for varying charges of different powders in different sized cases....at some point the pressure increases sharply and that component now becomes a contender in recoil. All that said 8-12% could simply be averaged, so call it ~10% for each component with that low-pressure round. Many 416s are in the 2400+/- fps ballpark. I agree that each plays a signficant part in felt recoil. I think my old Steyr-M. Tropical 375 weighed over 16 lbs with the oversized bbl, optics, sling and both magazines (one in the butt) loaded. It was a pleasure to shoot, even with heavy handloads and 350 gr bullets.
