While the recoil of a 22-250 might be more noticeable on the PD fields over the course of a day even when downloaded to 223 speeds, I suspect most would perceive a less abusive round in the short term when so loaded (compared to similar, full steam, .223 50 or 55 grain loads.) The same would probably be claimed for the 30-06 loaded to 30-30 speeds, as well as others.


Sometimes, the air you 'let in'matters less than the air you 'let out'.
