I have not shot them side by side but neither recoil is bad. I have a APA fat bastard on the 300 and area 419 hellfire on the 7. I have a .308 that has more felt recoil than both of these.
I shot this one 2 years ago with my AR platform 6.5 Grendel, 123 gr SST. Shot him right at 230 yards, spun around the opposite direction and went about 10 feet. Just got him back from the taxidermist this past weekend.
This was my best 3 shot group out of my Seekins PH2 in the testing I did today:
Hornady brass
Berger 175gr EH
64.2 gr H4831 SC
Federal 215 primer
2.658 to Ogive (2T off the lands)
2960 fps average
64.5 gr and 64.8 gr also turned in good results.
