I have always questioned this " less felt recoil" thing. I always thought that one of the stead fast laws of physics was " for every action there is an equal and oposite reaction" . So if they both move a 150 grain bullet at 3000 fps then they should both have the same ammount of recoil out of the same rifles. This " less felt recoil" thing is crap. IMO.

Now I am going to get a 300 or 338 WSM hear real soon because I like the fact that the short mags headspace off the shoulder instead of the belt. Never liked a belted cartrige.
