Has anyone ever noticed that alot of times when developing a load for a rifle, when you get it into a node and it starts grouping really tight that the recoil seems to push more straight back and the gun really settles down. Recoil seems less violent. Drop or raise charge until the group is opposite of the node with hits scattered and it's noticable to me alot of times that the gun is not pushing straight back anymore and perceived recoil seems to be greater even if charge weight was lowered. I'm just asking this question to see if this is just a mental perception that I have or if someone else has noticed the same thing. It does seem sensible that when your load is right & the harmonics being right, that recoil would be a smoother reaction.
