Part of the climb is the relaxed hold I'd think.

Very true with any rifle. Depending on stock shape and hold, even a .250 Savage will climb noticeably.

A most perfect example of this can be demonstrated in submachinegun shooting. When I first started subgun shooting I used a normal stance and found bursts rising high immediately after the first shot with very poor patterning the result. Lots of practice later, I had bursts landing in a close pattern like a tight-choked shotgun. The difference was leaning into the gun and almost pushing it forward with the burst, holding down at the same time. Standing up straight and tall allowed the gun to rise and prevented any sort of control on subsequent shots. A very good lesson in "follow through" of a sort. Shooting a full auto gun with a 12 lb trigger makes for a very revealing demonstration of just how much the hold of any gun can and does impact ability to see the target after firing a shot. Nothing teaches that like a burp gun.
