Recoil as has been pointed out so many times here (But hard to get by all the "Snake Oil" salesman pushin "Felt Recoil") is a function of weight times velocity, & is totally unrelated to "Peak" pressure. To make it easier on the wood you either cut the payload, cut it's muzzle velocity, OR BOTH. Peak pressure is of concern primarily to the bbls but can also have an affect on frame strength. Has virtually no affect on the wood, or you.
