BC,

I'd have to believe that in the scenario that you've provided the mass of the powder would have to provide very little to felt recoil.

Also I can't get past that if you're still going the same 2000 fps that the same amount of energy had to be created and thus would recoil identically.

Not only does Hornady not compare the same velocities but they are saying you'll get more velocity.

Unless you provide additional proof I'm going to have to go with hawg wash.
