Thanks Pete!
In typing the above I forgot about the mass of the wad!
It is significant that in increasing the shot charge by 12.5%, while maintaining the same mass of powder and wad, the recoil increases by 27%. I bet a higher velocity would of the same 7/8 and 1 ounce loads would cause an even higher rise in recoil!
Okay, it's back to my yard work!!!
