You know I have never sat down and tried this but I think this would be a valid question. If one were to sit down with 3 identical handguns, say Accusport Bisleys, a 41 mag, 44 mag, and a 45 colt. All running the same bullet weight of 250gr with identical loads, say CCI350 primer and 22.0gr of H110.
Would the recoil be the same or would the 41 mag recoil the most because of it increased velocity? Or if they were loaded to the same 1200fps would they recoil exactly the same? I was trying to decide of bullet velocity or powder volume would be the determining factory to perceived recoil...
May have to test this someday for myself...

The guns may all be identical except there may be a slight difference in weight due to the case diameters and bore size. It might not be much but everything counts

all things being equal, meaning same bullet weight/velocity,... my bet would be the 45Colt because the gun weight would be less, if you made the guns all the same weight then you might be able to fill the 41Mag slightly more because of pressure, then again Ive never noticed a difference in recoil between these 3 with equal loads .

The different case dimensions would determine that the rounds would not burn identically so there should be a difference. |

I think an Encore set up is the most efiicient and fair way to set up such an experiment. Of course you'd need like barel lengths in all calibers. It is feasible I guess.
I can tell you that my least favorite gun to shoot has been a 454 Casull. Hands down. Give me a 45LC with 280gr LBTslugs @ 1100 all day. If I need more I am going home

I just spoke with a buddy about running his 500WE Freedom Arms with a 425gr bullet at the same load as my 475 with a 425gr bullet. We will see what transpires one of these days...

Bill, the answer is no. I dont know why, but the 44 will kick the worst. Not that the 45 wont push more, but somehow the 44 is sharper in recoil. I have only shot the 41 mag. a little, and then only with 220 Keiths, but I would say it only kicks a little bit more than the 44 special Keith load.....
