Out of the two, I've only had the 308 (in a carbine length/weight). But I'd have to deduce that a 25-06 would kick a bit less.

243 is easy shootin with just regular loads. Doesn't save anything on muzzle blast that I can tell though. I recon if I wanted less less noise, a Swede at around 2600 might be less blasty.
