Out of curiosity, I went ahead and used HuntAmerica's recoil calculator to run the numbers-
With Federal Ammo's factory TSX loads for each-
(actually surprised Fed even made ammo for the 9.3)
9.3x66 BlackBear with 289 gr TSX at 2300FPS yields 28ftlbs of recoil energy and 13 ft/s velocity
375 h and h Kodiak with 300gr TSX at 2400FPS yields 32 ftlbs and 14 ft/s.
Please note I lopped 60fps off the BB for barrel length and 70 fps for the Kodiak.
Both are surprisingly pleasant compared to a 300 ultramag running Remington's 180 gr Swift Scirocco factory load.
