    Sorry but i still can't tell the difference in recoil of any non magnum round.
    243,223,308,270,280,3006,303,30-30 they all feel the same to me.

    Once upon a time I would say "that 36-06 of mine really kicks with 180 gr pills". Now that I use 9.3 x 62 ,375 H&H Mag ,458 Win Mag ,450 x 3 1/4" I know better. I still like the old Parker Hale 30-06 that cost $116.00 45 years ago.Its just not the gun I take out much these days.
    Velocity is thrilling,but diameter does the real killing.

    Ah no actually i am being serious.

    If you were blind folded and fired a few rifles would you put both your testicles on the line to pick the caliber?

    If the options were between a .223 and a .30-06, absolutely. I'd even put yours on the line.

    The old mans sexy little voere( spelling?) 223 definitely louder and i think???% pushed more than the wifes 243 but that was heavy and suppressed.
    Point Im tryin to make here is within reason cal is irrelevant in regards to recoil.
    Total weight an stock shape and noise make far more difference to "perceived" recoil.

    As i said they all go bang and push a bit.
    If you have a ultra light magnum then yea your goin to notice it obviously.
