300 Weatherby for sure. 300 WSM second. It is the design of the case shoulders on all Weatherby cartridges that make kick more. Of course it is also what makes take more case pressure and add accuracy.

Case shoulders no. The extra 10% whatever percentage of powder is what is causing the recoil. In the same gun Weatherby,Winchester Long mag, Winchester Short mag. I can noticeably feel it when I touch off a Weatherby and find their fast recoil very unpleasant. The 300 win mag is not bad but the recoil is noticeable, its just not as fast recoiling as the Weatherby. The 300 wsm feels like a 7 rem mag with a stout load

If you were to put all three in the exact same rifle, with the exact same bullet (weight) and shoot from the exact same position, I honestly think you'd probably be able to tell the difference between each one.
Personally I think the Weatherby has the most recoil, followed by the win mag and then the WSM. I think a 300 WSM is about on par with most 7mm Mags I've shot.
A lot of this is dependant on the cut of the stock, weight of the gun and bullet and exactly how sensitive you are to recoil. If you are recoil sensitive at all... then you are probably looking at the wrong family of cartridges.... or you should stick with a 300 WSM...... there isn't much from a hunting standpoint that any of them cannot do as good as the other.

I think / pretty certain it would be .300 wby mag with the most, followed by .300 win mag, next .300 WSM.
Wby has the most powder, followed by win mag, followed by WSM.
None I would say should be too much to handle, but then again I hear some men cant shoot more than a .30-06, also rifle design I hear has alot to do with felt recoil etc....so one .300 can shoot quite harder than another....
Any of the 3 would be great rounds in a rifle....so same rifle.....all things equal.....then Id say the wby then the win mag, then the wsm....would kick the most.
Of the 3, I'm not sure which I'd get either, all 3 are pretty awesome in their own right, I think it would be between .300 wby and .300 wsm....

300 wby. Owned/shoot all 3 the wby. even though heavier had themost feltrecoil. I'd say my MKV with a 200gr load let you know she was their, no brake. All but one 300wsm i have shot were lighter platforms so I found no real break form a 300wm. In fact I find them to jump at the muzzle more which sometimes makes the shooter feel like your getting more then you actually are.

Seems to me that the laws of physics apply. For every action, there is an equal and opposite reaction. Therefore, to compare recoil, just take a look at the ballistics tables to compare the muzzle energy of each round. The one with the most muzzle energy will have the most recoil.

Weight of the gun will have some effect on felt recoil. The long action calibers are often with a longer barrel than the WSM guns. In many cases the WSM caliber gun will weigh around a half pound less. If all 3 were shot from the same style and size gun the WSM should have less felt recoil. The reports I have read say the slightly better ballistics on the WSM are a result of more efficient powder burn. I guess the performance increase isn't completely negated by the slower short barrel.

The three mentioned are all likely close in felt recoil when comparing equals. Probably the Win Mag first followed by the Wby then the WSM. I also think a 300 Ultra Mag may be a tad worse. It's all subjective, and all are doable for hunting purposes. At the bench they may get a little tougher.
