I currently have a rifle in.270win and am considering purchasing a rifle in 30-06 Springfield.
My question is if there is much recoil difference between the two.
Thanks,
Copperdog
If you use 150-grain bullets at 2900 FPS in your .270, the recoil is the same as a .30/'06 of the same weight shooting a 150-grain bullet at 2900 FPS.
When you start using heavier bullets in the '06. recoil increases accordingly, BUT I find a 180-grain '06 load more pleasant to shoot than the 150 grain load - it is less SUDDEN in its effects!
