For a given projectile weight using a given powder charge, recoil is easily calculated. I wasn't aware that TC had figured out how to defeat the laws of physics. Mass times velocity. 1/2 Mass X velocity squared divided by G. Equal and opposite reactions. Pretty straightforward stuff.

Yes, the 30 T/C uses less powder than a 30-06. So does a 308 Winchester. The 308's claim to fame is that it replicated 30-06 ballistics with less powder and less recoil. The 30 T/C operates at higher pressures than the 308 Winchester and uses slightly lower powder charges, but not that much lower. It's pretty much like the Hornady Light Magnum ammo: special powders, very tight tolerances, close to max pressures.
