Also the unit is ft-lb (a product)not ft/lb (denotes a quotient)

Greater bottle-necking of cartridges (ala Ackley)provides a side effect of reducing recoil expected/calculated.
This, because more of the powder is contained in the chamber rather than adding to bullet mass(still unburned) further down the barrel.

In Quickload this parameter is set as ‘weighting factor’, which may need to be adjusted with a 30-06 -vs- a 6dasher to calibrate the file.
