Rifle Recoil Table
I'm just saying to me the recoil between the two is noticeable.If you check the chart you'll see there's a difference in recoil between the two. The difference in recoil between the 30-06 & 7mm RM is about identical using a 180g bullet out of the .06 & a 150g out of the 7mm.

With that being said the only guy that was to be comfortable with the recoil is Schoolcraft and if he doesn't notice any increase in recoil that's all that matters.
