[QUOTE="Orange Dust, post: 1718749, member: 92702"] Here is a suggestion. Recoil of any cartridge using the '06 case can be duplicated pretty well with an actual '06. Just duplicate the bullet wt and velocity of the cartridge you are interested in. If you are going to use a little heavier barrel just remove the mag spring and add the difference in lead wrapped in foam to the magazine. If you think you want a 25-06, load up some 110gr bullets to approximate 25-06 velocity and shoot them, load some 130's to 3000 and you have a .270 or 6.5-06. Recoil will be close enough you would have to measure it to tell any difference. I haven't gone here because this is a long range forum, but low recoil loads are an option.
