I notice a big difference between the 243 and 270. I've stated before that I do not like recoil at all for some reason. I'm not a wuss. I wrestle and coach football and played collegiate rugby for 5 years. . Even though I love to shoot I don't like the recoil I can't explain it. A .270 is as much as I want to handle. I love the .25-06 though, sweet shooting with more of everything than a .243
I am thinking about putting on a pachmyr or limbsaver recoil pad on my ruger .270
Does anyone have experience with these? Maybe I'll start a new post.
