So, higher pressures=higher recoil, right?
JR
Wrong!!
Heavier payloads and/or Higher Velocities = Higher Recoil.
These factors may or may not be accompanied by Higher Pressures.
So a 1 oz. load @ 1200 fps that generates 11,000 psi has the same recoil as a 1 oz. load @ 1200 fps that generates 7500 psi?

Somewhat complicated. If your higher pressure load is using a faster-burning powder, it may recoil LESS than the lower pressure load, because the lower pressure load may use slower-burning powder, and the larger volume of powder should result in increased recoil--although questionable whether the shooter will feel a difference.
I think we have a discussion going on elsewhere which seems to indicate that virtually all shells, regardless of what powder they're loaded with, develop their peak pressures in the chamber and not somewhere down the bore.
