Gene you are simply looking at this from the wrong direction.

You never load a round that way, just swaping out a 115gr bullet to a 147grain and expecting that to work.

But if you comperes two safe loadings one 115 grain bullet and one with a 147 grain bullet you will find that the 147 grain bullet delivers more recoil energy.

Don't mix up this discussion with burning rates and grains of powder cause that is not relevant.

Of the same reason have several compeetition shooters over the years tried to use as light bullets as possible in order to lower the recoil energy.

This was espeisally true in IPSC where a 9x19 major was perfectly possible to load with a heavy bullet but everyone wanted the 115 grain in order to have lower recoil.
