My recollection of his article is that the only shells that blew off part of the crimp end were extreme mismatches. 3-1/4 or 3-1/2" shells in 2-1/2" chambers. I don't think he even mentioned recoil. He maybe did not shoot the shells from his shoulder, either. I don't have that magazine anymore. Assuming that the small increase in pressure that MIGHT occur when firing a 2-3/4" shell in a 2-1/2" chamber, because the extra length ends half-way up a 1/2" long forcing cone MIGHT cause an increase in velocity and would therefore cause an increase in recoil is as silly as the long forcing cone salesmen claiming the longer cones cause NO loss in velocity but magically reduce recoil. Ditto the same claim illogical for backboring. BS.
