I can't believe we are still having this conversation. Remington's Managed Recoil loads were introduced in 2004. That's 10 years ago, people!
The .30-06 MR load is a 125 grain bullet at 2660 fps.
Scrolling through this thread wondering when someone was (finally) going to mention this. +1.
(I started my 9-year-old on the 270 with my own 'managed recoil' type 100 grain hand loads. He loved the feeling of the recoil after experiencing none with the 22 LR. Consequently he shot it frequently, not a lot in a single session, and he became good with it. Consequently he had no problem handling full power loads when we hunted moose when he turned 10.)
