The calculations and theories may be correct, but you might look at all that from a secondary perspective. Recoil remains a subjective experience - it's not "felt" in the same way by everyone.
True. I liked my 44 Magnums so much and really enjoyed shooting them, I hardly noticed recoil or muzzle blast. An experienced shooting friend tried my Ruger SBH in .44 Mag. with some of my "warm" handloads and replied, "Nope, not for me!". Although recoil can be measured, in ft. lbs. of energy (?), recoil is largely subjective...
