Brings up an interesting point Rocket. Does BP actually burn at a higher temp. than smokeless, in similar quantities or does the BP charge produce higher heat because there is so much more of it?
To Rpr: I don't need to study charts. My statement was that if brought to the same velocity, BP will produce more recoil than smokeless. That's a fact. Writers who probably haven't done much of it, love to explain how BP produces a "push", rather than a punch, suggesting the recoil is less with BP. They are either firing the BP loads at a significantly lower velocity or are simply F.O.C, most likely the latter. If you shoot a round of trap, for example, with BP cartridges and follow that with a round of trap with smokeless, again, assuming similar velocities, the difference in recoil is remarkable, to say the least.
