FWIW:

The nameof the cartridge has almost NOTHING to do with recoil.

Bullet weight and velocity balanced against weight of the firearm are the critical factors.

If the rifles are both 8 pounds and they are both firing 120 grain bullets at 2800 fps, the recoil will be equal (or essentially equal-- the weight of the powder charge has a little influence).

Figure what bullet you want to shoot, at what velocity, in what rifle for each cartridge. Then go here:

And calculte the recoil based upon those parameters.

Good Shooting,
