maybe i searched the wrong keywords but here goes...

Does slower burning powder yield more "Felt" recoil?

I ask because I was loading Bullseye under 180gr LSWC and I picked up a pound of Unique. I loaded a full grain less then a Max load of 5.5. With 4.5gr of unique it felt like a Nuclear MallNinja Load compared to the other rounds I was shooting. I was actually surprised at the amount of recoil...

Thanks
