Recoil inherent too the cartridge is only one part of the equation, and in my opinion, maybe less important than fit in many cases.
I'd rather shoot my 300 WBY or my Dad's 375 H&H (both unbraked) all day long rather than shooting a 270 or 30-06 in a Tikka Lite. Those rifles bite. Venomous little guns.
Having said that, I agree many of us shoot too much cartridge and like many have said, take the rifle you are confident with and you will actually put them down faster.
