Muzzle Energy vs Recoil vs Rifle Weight for Dangerous Game

I have a CZ 550 in 500 Jeffery. 570g TSX at 2300 fps. Weighs 12 lbs with scope. Accurate as hell, recoil is but a maiden's kiss.

Updated the spreadsheet with the sectional density data provided, but I have guessed on some velocities and charge weights. If yoiu have actual data then please share - or update the attached spreadsheet and share. Rifle weights are my best guess as well.
Note - there is no charge weight for the 600gr 505Gibbs and look at the FRE - I stand corrected, the charge weight is the biggest single contributor to the free recoil.
