Given the same gun weight/barrel length/bullet weight I'd say the .308 has a "snappier" recoil compared with more of a "push" from the .303. As the .308/7.62 is a more developed round then that is probably the better bet and easier to get the best out of than the .303, especially trying to get to know the Lee Enfield which is a life's work in itself!
