I've been contemplating lightweight rifles. The downside being increased felt recoil. So the question is do efficient cartridges that achieve good velocity with smaller powder charges have less measured recoil than a cartridge burning more powder to achieve the same velocity ?
Newtons third law does not consider the rocket effect of burning gases or the weight of the gasses (propellant) that are also accelerated.
