Aim To Maim has a very good point. Stock fit is definitely a major factor.
The other thing to keep in mind is, you can't get around the physics: the heavier the bullet, and the faster you push it, the more recoil.
Rifle weight is a HUGE factor, too. A cartridge that is a low recoil pussycat in an 8 pound rifle becomes a nasty kicker in a 5 pound rifle. IMO, that is a good reason to avoid the lightweight models for beginners, even though it seems to make sense for some of the smaller shooters.
