Dan,

Exactly.

The only time something different occurs when the bullet leaves the muzzle is a bigger flash, due to the hot gas reigniting when "enriched" with oxygen. But that has nothing to do with recoil.

Many shooters think the big flash is due to powder that's still burning. But all the powder that was going to burn, did so long before the bullet exits.
