Reduced Recoil Ammo

RE: Reduced Recoil Ammo
Personally havent used them but read up on it, it looks as if will work fine for deer, but i honestly do not see the point of it, IMO a 270 with 130 grain factory loads really doesnt kick, even dont really kick much with any load to me. Just my 2 cents

BTW, I have seen a few rifles chambered in 270 Win that due to stock design, weight, etc. were not at all pleasant to shoot.

I will rephrase since i shoot alot and a lot of people are smaller than I, from what i have read the reduced loads are good for deer sized game at closer ranges(within 250 yards) and with high percentage shots being taken such as broadside in the lungs. Good luck!

RE: Reduced Recoil Ammo
They were really made for young hunters just starting out and hunters sensitive to recoil. I like to see this type of project undertaken by the ammo makers. It shows that they are listening to the customer and making reduced loads available for people who do not reload. I as a reloader did the same thing when my kids were just starting to hunt. I loaded the 06 down with bullets intended for use in the 30-30. Some 270's do have a noticable whack to them. For those of us with bad shoulders I welcome the addition.
