Old, Sure alot of factors can come into play, such as reloaded ammo, recoil pad condition (new vs older)Thickness of recoil pad if any, Both using factory loads, recoil would be no different than being hit with a basketball being pushed 2 feet from your shoulder,same amount of energy from back pressure.
The complaints come from most who never fired a 300,but heard alot of war stories from friends of friends that heard it from the other guy.
My Son fired the 300 many times at age 11-12-13-14 years of age during gun season and range time,no bruising or complaints of hurt..Seems to me that most people who put down the 300 recoil has never fired one.
This is my Sons 480 Ruger handgun pistol with reloaded ammo, not factory. Bullet weight in grains 325 Velocity in fps 1200 Powder charge in grains 21.7 Weight of firearm in lbs 3.5
Recoil Impulse in (lbs sec) 2.12 Velocity of recoiling firearm (fps) 19.18 Free recoil energy in (ft/lbs) 20.62
This is for a 44 Mag
Bullet weight in grains 240 Velocity in fps 1200 Powder charge in grains 22.1 Weight of firearm in lbs 3.5
Recoil Impulse in (lbs sec) 1.67 Velocity of recoiling firearm (fps) 15.36 Free recoil energy in (ft/lbs) 12.83
This is also hand loaded ammo,not factory. As you can see it is also very close as to that amount of recoil for the 480 Ruger,imagine if it was maxed out on powder weight it would match the 300 data very close if not over the recoil data. Saying it feels heavier is a perceived suggestion,not actual measurement.
If you are speaking in actual factory rounds,it also varies from manufacturer to manufacturer, The recoil on an -06 difference is minuscule compared to the 300 Win Mag. We have both -06 and 300 rifles to us there is very little difference with factory rounds. As you can see in the photo, the -06 has no recoil pad and the 300 has about a 3/4" recoil pad attached. It's just some people have to argue with facts. LOU

Today's Featured Article - Fasteners: The Nuts and Bolts of Nuts and Bolts - by Curtis Von Fange. The nuts and bolts of nuts and bolts is an interesting and essential piece of knowledge that applies to our older tractors. An improperly torqued capscrew on an engine head or a shear bolt that is too hard on the driving shaft of a bushog can create havoc and make an expensive and uncalled for repair. Let’s examine the purpose and design of these fasteners in order to ensure their proper use. Fasteners are probably one of the aspects of mechanics that is given the least amount of thought.
