Caliber recoil comparison ?

[WtxHunter21]

I was just wondering what the 300wsm recoil is compared to the 30-06? I have a 30-06 and am really interested in the 300wsm.

Here's a calculator that takes powder charge, bullet and firearm weight into effect: http://www.handloads.com/calc/recoil.asp

I have shot both and the 300wsm is by far more brutal than any 30-06 load I have evr fired.

I agree with jon, much more recoil than the 06. I cant tell the difference in recoil between the .300wsm and the .300wm even though in my two rifles I shoot 77.0 gr of RL-22 in the wm and 67.0 gr of RL-22 in the wsm with the same bullets? Maybe one rifle weighs more than the other. Nice links Wayne and Jim.
