"Most of the advantages of the long cone were simply dreamed up to sell reamers & cone jobs."

I have done several and felt no difference in recoil. Forcing cones have nothing to do with reducing recoil unless it reduces velocity. You can do that by loading less powder(and save money)
The highest pressure is not near the forcing cone. It is 1 to 1-1/2" from the standing breech.

"When tested the patterns only slightly improved (less than 5%)."
What does this mean? Tighter, more open, more even, anything at all?
