Recoil begins the instant the bullet starts to move, regardless if it is captured on film.

I believe a slo mo film with a revolver might show the effect clearer.

Powder density and burn rate from a larger projectile seems much more logical.



Larger projectile? I assume you mean a heavier projectile and not a different / larger caliber.

The OP deals with speed of identical projectiles with different powder charges. I edited the post to clarify.

Larger as in larger mass. Additionally, the initial recoil is back, not up. By the time that the recoil goes from back to up, bullet is downrange.

Looking for Revolver video now.
