You couldn't be more wrong. I base my opinion on experience. I fired 10 rounds of 140 grain Winchester Accubonds and couldn't fire anymore because the kick was so bad. I next opened up a box of Federal cheapo Classic 150 grain soft points (ON THE SAME DAY AND AT THE SAME SITTING) and almost felt no recoil at all.
What ever you say.
The laws of physics don't change just because the feeling in your shoulder does. If the 140 and 150 grain bullets did, in fact, have the same muzzle velocity like you say (they don't BTW)then the 150 grain bullet had more recoil. You can sit there and argue it all you want but you would be wrong.
Personally I would get the Remington over the Browning. All the horror stories you hear about warping wood stock are largley unfounded and simply passed along. I have one synthetic stocked rifle and the rest are wood and never have any of them changed POI through different climate changes. If you were to be hunting places like Alaska down the Pacific coast to Washington and Oregon then the synthetic stock may be of some actual benefit.
