[QUOTE="HarryN, post: 1061697, member: 69773"] The nice thing about 270 win is that it is very inexpensive to shoot compared to many other calibers, easy to find ammo, and there is low recoil ammo available off the shelf. Honestly, I am not a big 243 fan, not because it is a bad caliber, but what are you gaining vs. just using a 270 and low recoil ammo that day? My son and I use low recoil 270 ammo at the indoor range locally. I can easily hold the rifle with one hand and the recoil is nominal. Not much different than shooting 38s in a 357. I did this test because like you, I am considering a handgun in a similar caliber. I have a rebuilt shoulder, so yes felt recoil is something I pay attention to, even though I don't like this restriction. [/QUOTE]
