Sure, the numbers you referenced could just as easily be used as a statement of relative recoil. My reference was a calculation (http://www.realguns.com/calculators/recoil.html) based on some of my own 300 and 350 grain .375 handloads and a specific rifle. I took into consideration a specific gun's weight, bullet, charge, and velocity and we tend to push a little on the velocity side. In this case I did apply the same method of calculation to the .416 Ruger so I would be close to an assessment apple to tangerine assessment.
