The recoil between a .30-06 is not
that far off from a 7mm Mag and the drop in flight seems to be quite a bit more, at least that's the info provided by
www.chuckhawks.com that I'm pasting here for your reference:
Recoil:
Cartridge (Wb@MV)--------------------Rifle Weight---Recoil energy---Recoil velocity
7mm Rem. Mag. (140 at 3150)-----------8.0--------------19.1---------------12.4
7mm Rem. Mag. (150 at 3100)-----------8.5--------------19.2---------------12.1
.30-06 Spfd. (150 at 2910)----------------8.0--------------17.6---------------11.9
.30-06 Spfd. (180 at 2700)----------------8.0--------------20.3---------------12.8
