Greetings Bill999,
The three elements of recoil are Velocity, Projectile weight and powder charge. Increase any and the recoil increases. Felt recoil is a different matter. A .270 WSM or 9.8 Western producing .270 Win ballistics will have more recoil as more powder is needed to get them in the larger case.
