And less recoil is still less recoil even if it is only afew ftlbs.In a light weight rifle with a smaller person,it can make a difference.
So I guess there is no cartridge thatcould possibly produce less recoil.
Go ahead and post your calculations.
Again, recoil can be mitigated by the shooter. You can't make a cartridge have more energy. If I can stay in my scope then it doesn't have noticable recoil. If your not being hit hard enough to lost sight picture then the recoil is not effecting you and it has no recoil that matters.
Again you're arguing semantics because it's all you have left.
