I"m telling you how it felt to me.

But two different rifles.... different stocks, different weights and so on.

I"ve never shot a 308 that thumps like a 270, not even when shooting 185 grain and 208 grain bullets... But like I said I"ve only shot the 270 from 2 folks and only a few times and they thumped.

I had a buddy that had a Rem 78 in 06. It kicked much worse than my braked 300 wtby did... it kicked almost as bad as my non braked 300 wtby..

To ad, my buddies dads 270 was a rem gas gun, and with 95 ttsx it obviously did not recoil much.
