What Miller has written is all good sensible stuff. The problem lies with 'perceived' recoil.
Some get bruised fingers, some bruised cheeks, some sore shoulders, some headaches.
Unfortunately, its really complicated, depending on gun fit, the individual concerned - all really hard to quantify.

My own view is fairly simple; If a gun is 96 times the load, recoil should be acceptable to the 'average' person if the gun fits OK and with a normal velocity cartridge.

Shooting more than 1/96 th of the guns weight is likely to cause unpleasant recoil to the 'average' person

I also believe that changing the forcing cones has an effect on recoil primarily by changing the muzzle velocity.
