OOPS. My error. Thanks for the catch. I used a rifle formula. The wad wt is in there with the shot charge wt. Its basically everything in the hull that goes out the end of the barrel to produce an equal and opposite reaction.

So, if the question is how do I get less recoil, the answer, assuming the gun configuration remains constant, remains to use less shot or less powder or less velocity. The wad wt is pretty much a constant.
