Recoil. I've always felt my old Rem 700 30-06 kicked harder than my LRML.
A coworker and I were discussing recoil not too long ago. Showed him Handloader recoil calculator. Hard to compare a HP vs ML (different powders) but with BH209, one can compare recoil quite easily.
Powder by weight for 500gr projectile came from Knight pro staffer, I estimated the charge (100w) to achieve 2400fps.
The discussion was basically does 1/2 the bullet weight at 2x the MV = same recoil? doesn't look like it.
