Rob, if I understand anything or anyone at all, it's that there is a reasonably clean, uncluttered correlation of recoil of the gun to weight and velocity of the ejecta; i.e., shot charge or solid plus wad and powder residue a la old Sir Isaac. Less going slower in one direction means a whole lot more going mega slower in the other. 7/8 oz in the 16 is a reduced payload; increasing its velocity will eventually make it comparable in recoil to 1 oz. load going somewhat slower. Sort of like little M x big V produces the same recoil result as does big M x little V. No correlation to pressure, peak or average. Ok, I am challenged by the formulaic!
