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.
you are very right, laws of physics dont change. BUT...lengths of bullets do. The ballistic tips and accubonds are longer bullets than the soft points or even the spire points. The over all length of therounds (bullet and cartridge combined)are the same, but the bullet lengths are different with the accubonds and the ballistic tips seating farther into the neckwith a few others seating well past the neck and into the body. Because of thir "seating" depth, the accubonds and ballistic tips take up some of the volume used for combustion which increases the pressures within the cartridge which in turn directly affects recoil. So yes, differrent bullets of the same powder loads offer vastly different amounts of recoil depending onbullet length length and seating depth.
There is a wonderful article on this in Shooting Times Magazine that was conducted with a 30.06 and bullets of different length with the same overallround length and powder load.
I will try to post some of the information here for everybody
