handloading up and down on a variety of cartridges...I have found, less powder, less recoil...all things being equal..
other variables, but that one is the easiest to have control over...
some powders have a bigger Boom to them then others also...
such as 5744 vs 4198 or RL 7 or SR 4759...
or 2400 vs 4227...
less powder also does not equate to lower pressures either...when one is using a faster burning powder...
I do a lot of reduced loads, which people think are less pressure... where in reality frequently it is just less velocity.
