[QUOTE="JPB, post: 691679, member: 7812"] I actually had a .38 in mind in regards to my question. I've read that to reduce felt recoil, shoot a lighter load. In reading data on bullets, it seems like the higher the grain, the less velocity, which lead to me wondering if when someone says lighter load, it translates into a bullet with a higher grain. Let's take Blazer Brass and American Eagle as an example. The BB I shot I believe was 125 gr, and the American Eagle was 180 gr. The BB has a higher velocity than the American Eagle, so in this case it seems that the American Eagle is actually the lighter load. Is this a true statement? [/QUOTE]
