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 - Earthmaster Project Progress Just a little update on my Earthmaster......it's back from the dead! I pulled the head, and soaked the stuck valves with mystery oil overnight, re-installed the head, and bingo, the compression returned. But alas, my carb foiled me again, it would fire a second then flood out. After numerous dead ends for a replacement carb, I went to work fixing mine.I soldered new floats on the float arm, they came from an old motorcycle carb, replaced the packing on the throttle shaft with o-rings, cut new ga
