So Drew, I hope you can help clarify this. Since pressure = Force / Area, the longer the area along the shotgun barrel that the propellant is dispersed then the lesser the calculated pressure, such as with a slower burning propellant? So Pressure = Mass x Acceleration / Area. So, given the same velocity and payload and since force is the only parameter which relates to recoil, a lower pressure shell really doesen't actually have lesser recoil than a high pressure shell; it only has a lesser perceived recoil because of the character of the 'kick'. Is this correct in your opinion, and does this make any sense? I'm trying to figure out why pressure has nothing to do with recoil. Thanks.
