According to a recoil calulator there is ~ 2 f/p difference between all of them them in a 7.5 lb rifle with 117 - 120 gr bullets in factory ammo (10.2 vs 12.4 f/p). There is less then 4 f/p difference between a 117 gr 257 and a 140 gr 7-08 in factory cartridges (10.2 vs 14.1 f/p) or very near the difference there is between a 150 gr 30 cal bullet fired from a 308 win vs a 30-06 (15.4 vs 18.2 f/p).

The stock geometry and rifle wgt likely makes as much difference in felt recoil as the cartridge.
