Fair.

Also, most people don't have the same rifle in multiple chambers to compare Apple to apples.

The question that was asked was would a recoil sensitive shooter notice the difference? And would a seasoned shooter notice the difference?

My answer is still no.

There isn't enough difference for a recoil sensitive shooter to comfortably shoot it if they're already struggling with a 7mag.

And there isn't enough difference to matter to a seasoned shooter.

We're a little off the original topic. But recoil should not be the main selling point of this. As it isn't enough to matter.

Equal performance from a shorter barrel? Barrel life? These might matter.

Also- see post #3. I'm all for it. I'm just not buying that recoil is a big benefit. Too many other factors that impact felt recoil.
