If one were to compare the 44 Mag with the 480, how would you describe them?

To me, the recoil impulse from the 44 and the 480 seem similar.
A factory (325gr XTP @1350) feels nearly identical in recoil to a 300-320gr 44 mag with a case full of H110, which would make sense being the bullet weight and speed are about the same.

Once you start moving to the heavier bullets in the 480, the gun recoils harder but the pulse seems to be a bit slower so it sort of balances out.
