Seattle,

On one note though. The .270WSM, according to a chart I found on this site, is actually rated around 2#' s less kick then my current 30-06 I' m using, when comparing a 165gr. to the 130 gr., and at least a pound less when considering any load. I' d agree though, for me, I want nothing to do with the kick of the 7mmWSM or the 300WSM. I' ve shot the 300WSM, and maybe I' m a wimp, but I didn' t enjoy shooting it as much as my 30-06(and my 30-06 doesn' t even have pad!)
