That third line is the snag, because all other things are rarely equal. Basic physics tell us that it takes more push to move a heavier bullet the same speed as a lighter bullet, but that's not what we actually get in most manufactured ammunition.
Among Speer rounds, I find the 147 and 180 rounds to be softer shooting than their lighter, higher velocity siblings.
I was pointing out that heavier bullets producing more felt recoil is a matter of physics, not opinion, so I must disagree that the third line is the snag. It was incorrectly implied that lighter bullets produce more recoil and that simply defies physics. In short, a change in powder charges will of course produce more or less recoil, but like it or not, heavier bullets produce more felt recoil and unless all other things are equal, it's kind of like apples and oranges, isn't it?
