I doubt that it was the load/bullet/caliber at all that prompted his statement about the felt recoil. As clayking noted himself, it was probably the difference between shooting a semiauto vs shooting a revolver. He must have been expecting the same recoil as he was feeling with his semiauto. To really feel the difference in a revolver vs a semiauto, try a full house .44 Magnum in a nominal length revolver and then try the exact same loading in a Desert Eagle .44 Magnum - huge difference in felt recoil. The semiauto's action, weight, bore height, etc., all play a role in the difference.
