With respect to fast powders being "snappy" and slow powder providing "push." Recoil is dependent on bullet weight, muzzle velocity and firearm weight/design. Powder selection simply determines velocity.

What does the text in
bold mean? Can you give an example?
With respect to recoil, the amount of powder required to reach a given speed affects recoil as well, as this is part of the formula for calculating recoil force.
