Disagree. Unless the light one is over powdered or has an abrupt and high peak to its pressure curve it will have less recoil. Recoil is a function of momentum which tends to make heavier rounds recoil more heavily in a given caliber. That's holding everything constant, though, the manufacturers you're using may be loading it in that way or you're using a shortish barreled weapon.In general, a slow heavy bullet will have less felt recoil than a light fast one.

I know, that's why I said holding everything else constant.Momentum is actually a product of mass and speed, not mass alone
What 9mm ammunition can you GET in Sydney?
No problem, but "everything else" includes power factor, which is bullet momentum, not energy. Something HAS to change with bullet weight to keep PF the same, and that is powder weight.I know, that's why I said holding everything else constant.

I've finally sent away for my pistol license and am looking at IPSC production division. Other than hand loads, what ammunition do you reccomend?
