A: Thanks for reaching out Bob! Recoil energy in a handgun is determined by four factors: muzzle velocity, bullet weight, propellant weight and handgun weight. Assuming your S&W weighs 1.45 lbs and this round's propellant weighs 4 grains, then you could reasonably expect 5.57 ft lbs of recoil energy. If all other variables remained the same but the round's muzzle velocity were decreased to 1,145 fps, then its recoil energy would accordingly decrease to 5.03 ft lbs – not an enormous difference, but still significant. If you'd like to play around with those data yourself, then I recommend this handy site: shooterscalculator.com/recoil-calculator.php

A: Thanks for reaching out Erik! This ammo is made in the Republic of Cyprus. You can learn more about the manufacturer in the product description. This ammo is loaded with a nonmagnetic FMJ projectile and a non-corrosive Boxer primer. I regret that I cannot tell you precisely what kind of peopellant it's loaded with, as ammo manufacturers nearly always keep that information proprietary.
