Not so BPS. Recoil begins the minute the bullet starts moving forward in the bore. You may not feel the early part of the recoil. But that bullet is moving forward and the rifle is moving backward together. It's physics ya' know - equal and opposite reaction.
Try this. Load the same weight bullet into a gun twice, once with a very light load and once with a very heavy load, and shoot them into paper at 25 yards. If the heavy load doesn't hit above the light load, I'll buy you a beer.
Now, using the same powder charge, load a light bullet and a heavy bullet and shoot them into paper at 25 yards. If the heavy bullet doesn't hit above the light bullet I'll buy you another beer.
