[QUOTE="MoBoost, post: 1525387, member: 3455"] I'd have to disagree with pretty much EVERYTHING you said, with all due respect. 1) 7mm-08 will have less recoil unless you make reduced loads for 270 2) Ammo is identical in price 3) Zeroed at 200 yards, POI difference @300 will be under 2" - shooting 300+ you just need to know your rifle regardless of MV and BC. I feel that 270 kicks no different than 30-06; which I find "bearable", not "mild" by any means. 7-08 has a mild kick, and 243 is pleasant. I am a pretty big guy - 6'2 230#, and I judge recoil based on a 60 round 2 hour match ... not hunting 1 round per year: with adrenaline pumping recoil is the last thing you remember; muscles however remember to flinch if recoil was "harsh" during practice. No doubt 270 will do anything 7-08 can, and it will do it a bit better - I just don't think it's worth the extra 50% more recoil. Placement>Construction>Caliber [/QUOTE]
