Does Anybody No how bad a 270 WSM and a 300 WSM kick??
Here you go, ox...
http://www.chuckhawks.com/recoil_table.htm
It's a recoil energy table... and the 270 WSM and the 300 WSM are both in there. The 270 using an 8 lb rifle and shooting 150 gr. bullet at 3000 fps muzzle velocity... and the 300 using an 8.25 lb. rifle and shooting 180 gr. bullet at 2970 fps.
Bottomline, the 300 WSM for this choice of rifles and ammo is ~25% greater recoil energy than the 270 WSM.
What are you planning to hunt with this rifle?... deer?... elk?... moose?
If elk, a .300 caliber is a good choice.
Your decision should be mostly based on the largest game that you plan to hunt with this rifle.
