Pete,

I believe it would have an effect but compared to the other factors, especially with modern plastic wads, that effect would be negligible.

I also believe that all else being equal a slower burning powder will produce less felt recoil than would a faster burning powder. The results of tests of this theory are subjective depending on the individuate test participants.

I like theories but am forced to accept hard data.
