Also, the weight of the rifle, cheek weld, grip, shoulder set and bullet weight all affect a rifle's recoil, with the bullet weight being the #1 deciding factor. You can shoot a 55gr. bullet in a -06 and it won't have near the felt recoil of a 220gr. bullet. People have quantified felt recoil and a 220gr. bullet has 5x the recoil of a 55gr.

As for hitting the bullseye with those calibers, if you have video of hitting it consistently, not just a shot or two, get me the link of your YouTube and I'll check it out.
