Well, I came on here tonight to ask this question when i saw this thread
"Rant: Why Some Shooters Should Mind Their Own **** Business At The Range"

And it fit in perfectly.
I've noticed before that if I shoot a gun that seems to recoil heavily to me and it induces a flinch, that the fastest way for me to overcome that flinch is to move up to something that recoils more and then move back down.
I used to flinch firing a 1911, then I started with full loads in a .357. I never flinched with the .357, but it cured me of my 1911 flinch in a single cylinder of .357.
I used to hesitate shooting heavy load 30-06 and 7.62x54R from the bench until I started on 45-70. After 20 rounds of 400GN 45-70's, I can put 100 rounds of 180-215 grain '06 or 54R loads down range with no problems.
Is this a fairly common idea?
I understand the premise behind it- you shoot one thing that recoils more and then what "was a lot" is now totally manageable, but is this more of a physical or psychological response?
