Hmm, just ran recoil calculator comparison. The 130 at 3400 fps will have just a few more ft. lbs. in free recoil than the standard .30-06 165 gr. at 2850 fps with 57 gr. of powder in the same weight of rifle. So recoil shouldn't be excessive. But not as gentle as my .260 Rem. But you can't get something (500 more fps) for nothing.
