.308 recoil the same as 7-08, if using the same weight bullets. Physics…. Don’t like a .308 with 150’s? You won’t like. 7-08 with a140 much better. Like a 7-08 with 120’s? You will like a .308 with 125’s just the same.
Recoil is a function of the weight of the projectile and the amount of powder pushing it. To a lesser extent the felt impulse is affected by stock fit and powder burn rate. But the lion’s share of recoil is because you have a certain amount of powder pushing a certain amount of projectile. There is not enough difference between a .308 and the 7mm08 to make a bit of difference if similar bullet weights are used.
