The two statements in bold are incongruous - you cannot move more mass to a fixed velocity without increasing the recoil.

Correct. Comparable, dose not mean the same.
40.41 Ft. Lbs of recoil force from #1 buck (in an 8 pound gun)
28 Ft. Lbs in a 9 pellet 00 load.
Yes, recoil increases when you switch to #1 over 00. However the recoil is still comparable in the sense that there is not a major increase in recoil.
In contrast recoil goes up to 58+ ft. lbs in a 3 inch 00 load.
Subjective I know but in my thinking an increase of of around 12 ft lbs (00 to #1) is comparable. An increase of 30 ft. lbs (2 3/4 to 3in ) and now we are talking two very different categories of recoil.
