And here we are again....

I think rather than speculating how something "might feel" from data you're being fed from a calculator, you get out with each of the three in identical/ner identical rifles and make a practical comparison. In my family, we have a number of .30-06s and .270s, and to be honest, in similar weight rifles, it's difficult to tell the difference from recoil alone.

If the recoil of the .30-06 is concerning to you, I think it's time you gave very serious thought to short-action calibers such as the .308 or 7mm-08
