Like Scotty on Star Trek would say..."Ya can't change the laws of Physics".

The recoil in ft lbs feels worse due to the horrid stock design and narrow butt plate. Ever notice how a stock with a straight or flat comb seems to simply push BACK and not UP as much. Due to the minute DROP AT COMB figure.

Those old lever guns had a ton of DROP AT COMB, hence they buck UP into your cheek and BACK as well...sort of a fulcrum/lever deal.

I've always marveled at folks buying a model 94 in .30-30 for a young hunter thinking it kicked less.
