[quote=Gerry Addison) I try to shoot low pressure loads in all of my guns just because I don't like recoil and the light guns I shoot don't deserve the pounding the high pressure loads put out. Besides, I have found the low pressure loads pattern better and kill just as well. [/quote]
With all due respect, pressure has nothing to do with recoil. Recoil is a product of payload, including shot, wad and powder ejecta. Perceived recoil can also be affected by powder burn rate.Higher pressures certainly strain the action more. I also do not believe pressure has any bearing on patterns. Velocity can, but not pressure.
