The impulse of the S&B is about 5% higher than the Magtech, even though the energy is about 10% less.
(Yes, I did not try either of them so far.)
But good to know.

My rounds were not magtech, but then it depends not only on the cartridge , but also the pistol recoil spring.

My point was that a heavy bullet does not automatically make a higher recoil impulse.
