Anyway, pressure DOES NOT affect recoil velocity does. A simple way to prove it to yourself is to go to any reloading manual and choose two loads with similar ejecta weight and load one with a velocity under 1200fps and near max pressure, say 10,000psi. Then find a similar load going say 1250+fps with similar pressure. Then, and this is important, have a friend load your gun with the test rounds, different loads in each barrel then hand it to you with the action closed. You will of course have marked the rounds to identify them then all you have to do fire the gun twice and compare the recoil. Pressure stresses the metal and recoil hammers the face of the stock and you.[/QUOTE]
That would be an interesting test to perform and might prove the point, but probably not conclusively. Pure scientific data would prove one way or the other, but I would be willing to accept the results of your experiment. At this point, I tend to lean toward your explanation. It sounds solid.
