Go back to the 2002 Alliant Guide. At that date, perceived recoil was treated as a fun conundrum: paraphrastically the upshot was that "some reloaders" found RD kinder to the shoulder and "others" perceived less recoil with GD. Guess they wanted us to buy a lb. of ea. and conduct a powder "tasting". Now they're TELLING us which one kicketh more gently? I'd say they've joined Garwood in the looney bin. I still look on Garwood's scribbling with affection. Beats counting sheep.
