Interesting! Thanks for that. But Roman, what's up with him?

I'd rather have seen this done on a scale of some sort. Some sort of repeatable, objective measure. He has the right experimental design until he gets to the measurement of the actual recoil.

I'm pretty sure we all agree that different loads DO have different recoils. A quail load vs. a heavy 3" goose load have to be different in recoil given different payloads and velocities such that, if we put a scale behind the gun, we could objectively measure differences in recoil. Surely someone has done that.

But that said, the difference between the burn rates of RD and GD are greater than between RD and AS, I believe, so perhaps the effect would be very small and too small to "feel" regardless of what I thought I felt.
