The recoil factor of a 100 or less can be fired by anyone that can shoot a rifle. Factors of 100 to 200 are considered "moderate" and 200 to 300 is "moderately heavy". 300 to 400 is "heavy" and goes on up to 3,000 on your magnum calibers.
I don't think one needs a "managed recoil" on a .223.

Managed Recoil loads are not available in 223. The idea is that you can get a 270 to shoot with recoil slightly below a 243 while shooting
a .277 caliber bullet that weighs in at 115gr. Bigger cross section and heavier bullet than a 223 and VERY light recoil.
