Well I went out to shoot my Colt SAA today and was sending 250gr bullets down range with 2 loads. The first was 2.2cc of ffg and the other was 2.5cc of ffg. The idea was the 2.2cc was going to be the more tame, pleasure to shoot over the 2.5cc. However it definitely seemed that the 2.2cc loads had noticeable more recoil, but this doesn't make sense to me.
The 2.2cc had barely a 1/16 inch compression. Does the lack of compression add to recoil?
