If both rifles are the same make, weight, barrel length, as identical over all weight.
Based on fully equipped rifles based at 10 lbs,,, this is ammo, optics, By-pod, sling, extra slip on cartrage stock holder.
One chambered in 260 Remington shooting 140gr bullets @ 2755 ft-per second, the other in 308 winchester shooting 165gr @ 2828 ft-per second... This is based on max load from Hornady book #10
The recoil difference is 0.78 of a pound between both rifles so long as they are the same identical weight and barrel length. The only difference is the caliber.
Hardly worth considering this as issue.
This is from the shooters recoil calculater.
Looks like this blows the 30% more recoil theory out of the water. Kinda nice knowing the real facts.
Some times folks use words like squash, out perform by miles, and far more superior show up in conversations.
The majority of us know that better words that might describe the difference between too closely matched rifles might be minimal, or a fraction better than.
Yes the 260 Remington has a fraction less recoil then the 308,,, but less than 1 lb would make next too nill of difference to us grown up folks that shoot match.
If firearms recoil is an issue we have options.
Heavier firearm, add a MB. Incorporate the stock hydro shock system and super hard gel pad.
Yuppers, lots of us don't see the 30 cal bullets disappearing any time soon as they are selling like hot cakes again this year threw out all of North America for 2017 year.
