       Gamebore black gold

       My normal game shooting cartridge is Gamebore's fantastic "black
       gold" in a 32gram 6 flavour, but the last day I went to get some
       I fancied some 5s for High pheasant and duck. Problem was they
       had  no 32gm in a no 5 so I was talked into trying a couple of
       boxes of 35gm 5's.
       I tried some recently on ducks and they performed flawlessly as
       usual, although I was aware of the heavy charge of shot and made
       sure the birds were not too close.
       The point of my post though is that I was shooting them through
       my trusty side by side which weights a mere 6 1/4lb and noticed
       no discernible difference in recoil compared to the 32gm. Im
       wondering do they use a different powder or a smaller charge of
       the same powder to reduce speed and felt recoil?
