Well, you must take into account the .260 figure comes from a 7.5 pound rifle, while the 7mm-08 figure uses an 8 pound firearm...
As I noted, IF both rifles weigh the same, fire the same weight bullet at the same MV, using about the same amount of powder, the recoil will also be the about the same.
If you fire one from a 7.5-pound rifle and the other from one weighing 8 pounds, you are now comparing apples & oranges.....
Agreed
I was merely pointing out the weight difference to user "game4lunch". I don't consider either one a shoulder breaker- I am sure that either one would make a great rifle for medium sized game.
