Shinbone, The recoil factor for both is very similar, the big difference is in bullet weight and sectional density, here the Swede has it all over the 25-06. I mean no disrespect to the 25-06 gang it's a good round. That long 6.5 bullet in the Swede makes it a better flyer and penetrator with virtually no perceived recoil. Load it with Partitions or TSX's and go hunt elk, you won't be disappointed!
