Default RE: In need of lighter 308 bullets...

PAJACK...That has not at all been my experience with factory loads. I have put over a thousand rounds through 3 rifles in the 270 to 30-06 range and I've found that the recoil is NOTICEABLY increased with the weight of the bullet. My 270 kicks like a 243 with some 110's I had loaded for it. You shoot the 150's and it turns into a 30-06.

The shells are for my father...who is, like I said, aging. I'd like to be able to shoot at our range more often, but the recoil is rough on him. It doesn't bother me, but I'm 30 pounds heavier and 35 years younger than him.
