I can assure you that you cannot feel minor difference in recoil. You can however, apply your own personal beliefs conciously or unconciously.

I also have a test cradle from my days of testing M14 rifles for accuracy that could be used to test actual recoil I suppose, but any arguments about this subject are of no consequence since no ones mind is going to be changed.

Best, Dick

What were the results of your blind test, please? (long vs. short cones)
Thank you,
