I have shot all the rounds, and personally can't tell the difference in recoil. The .243, 30-30, .25-06, .308, and .30-06 all feel the same to me. I'm sure they all have a different amount of recoil in lbs, but as far as felt recoil I can't tell the difference. Same thing with my 12 gauge and muzzle loader, they all feel like they kick about the same to me.

The only round I've shot that had considerably less recoil was a .223, and I don't consider it big enough for anything but head shots on deer. (I know some people think it's big enough).
