Is anyone aware of a tool that can be used to check the Pounds and ounces it takes to move a bullet which is set in the case and how to use that info. in relation to the recoil of a tube mag. rifle (such as the 30-30) to asure a safely constructed round?
How would you determain the pound of recoil on a said rifle (in general)?

For example "varmit"- A 30-30 @7.5 lbs, 150 grain bullet, 30 grns 4820, and velocity of 2030 fps.
Thanks!
Yes there is. Place the end of the cartridge (bullet end) against a hard surface (the side of the loading bench works good) and press on the case as hard as you can. If there is ANY movement, your crimp is not adequate. This has always worked for me both for tube fed rifles and HOT revolver loads.

Planning on 8.5 lbs min. would be good.
"varmit"- gotta have your recipe for this.
