Agreed.

Tonight I shot some Red Dot and American Select loads. Both were 7/8 oz, both were about 1250 fps. The latter had considerably less recoil, or so it seemed, than the former.

When I got home, I looked at burn rates and RD is faster than AS. Is it safe to say that recoil correlates highly with burn rates when load weight and velocity are the same? It would make sense to me that they would. I suspect that the latter would also have lower max pressure as well.
