Amazed at how some myths never die a natural death. Pressure is irrelevant to recoil. It is the velocity of the ejecta coming out of the gun that produces recoil. And a low pressure load is quite capable of producing velocities equal to a higher pressure load. It is the quantity known as " work " that produces velocity (represented by the area under the pressure curve) not the peak pressure on the curve. That is why some of the new powders like LongShot are able to produce higher velocities by sustaining moderate pressure just a little longer.
