A slower bullet will be in the barrel for a longer time and be influenced by the recoil impulse (upwards) more than a faster bullet.
That is my understanding.
That is my understanding.

I've heard Hickok45 say this many times. But never understood why.

Crazy until you really think about it in these terms.
Makes sense. You just made me more edjumucated.

Very true. My .460 S&W mag shoots .45 LC, .454 casull, and .460 magnums. That is the order of slowest to the fastest, and the 45 is a good 6-10 inches higher than the .460 at 30 yards.
