powder charge/ OAL/ Perceived Recoil relationship

im mainly inquiring about pistol cartridges but this probably pertains to rifles too i guess

my question is kind of general so please if you can help me with a pertinent but general answer.

If you take 2 different cartridges that have been pre-tested and both have their bullets going at the same velocity out of a certain barrel:

1. Has a shorter OAL but a lighter powder charge

2. Has a longer OAL but a heavier powder charge

lets assume the powder is a fast burning one like Titegroup, Bullseye or CLays


If there is going to be any difference at all, which one do you beleive would have more perceived recoil/flip?

I am going to assume that the cartridge with the shorter OAL is going to snap more because the powder has more time to burn in the case before the bullet has left into the barrel.//??
