Home Forums Hunting & Shooting Hunting Rifles .257 Roberts, .260 rem, 7mm-08, softest kicking of the three?

You want a simple answer I am guessing, not theory? I have all three. If you load them with the bullets they work best for deer with, the 257 Roberts recoils less, or surely feels that way.

I am talking the 257 with 100 grainers, 260 with 120 grainers, and 7mm-08 with 120 or 140 grainers.
