Recoil comes from the bullet weight not the cartridge..
I am not sure what your source of information is. But there are probably at least a dozen variables involved with recoil. Bullet weight is just one of these variables. And it is on the bottom end of the scale, not the top end. I shoot a 405 grain bullet from a 45-70 that recoils less than a 150 grain from a 30-30. That sure blows a hole in your theory??? Tom.
Your comparing 2 different cartridges 45-70 to 30-30.. I am comparing the same cartridge in the 308 and it siblings.. The 7mm08 and 243.. True there are other factors involved like weight of the gun, ect. But the post above was comparing the 30-06 to the 25-06 which are also siblings.. So there is no hole in my theory..
