The difference is obviously pressure. F=Mass x Acceleration and Pressure = Force / Area. So if total force stays the same but area is reduced then Pressure has to be increased. This is what has been said all along. The total force is the same for both loads, but Force per sq. in or pressure increases for the smaller gauge.
"Force is the total impact of one object on another. Pressure is the ratio of force to area over which it is applied. A force is defined as a push or a pull that makes an object change its state of motion or direction."
I'm going to try to not respond anymore as we're still beating the dead horse.

Well CPA that's what I've been saying all along. Nobody is arguing the "Formula" is wrong, it's just applied differently in a larger bore versus a smaller bore, due to the different area it's applied over. It should be patently obvious that if the same load of shot is put in the small bore as the large bore there is more likelihood of deformed shot in the small bore.
If you try to shoot the same shot load you can get away with a softer shot in the larger bore than you can in the smaller bore. That's all I have been trying to say all along but The "Formula" has been constantly thrown up at me saying that Wrong, but it's true & has been established for more than a century

And, if anyone is interested in just how (un)important hard vs soft shot is to the most of us, kindly read chapter 17 of Jones. The basic difference would be comparable full choke patterns for the soft at 40 yards and 44 yards for the hard. If you were shooting for big money or braggin' rights, hard is the way to go. Otherwise, don't worry about it.
Soft and hard shot both have typical Rayleigh distribution patterns. Soft shot patterns bloom quicker but at less than about one half a choke constriction difference. Choke constriction, by the way, is the control over how quickly a pattern blooms - not more, not less.
