[QUOTE="WildRose, post: 523109, member: 30902"] That wasn't what I was addressing. However the same principle applies. In a closed pressure vessel where the object is to eject a projectile, the greater the mass of the projectile the greater the pressure generated by the smaller amount of propellant. Greater resistance, greater pressure, greater heat with the larger/heavier bullet is the net result, or an equal amount of same with the heavier bullet/smaller powder charge vs the lighter bullet/heavier powder charge. More force driving the heavier mass means a greater ejecta or rocket effect acting against the rifle when it is all ejected. [/QUOTE]
