[QUOTE="bigngreen, post: 405639, member: 13632"] For inside 400 yrd there's not much difference, the 270 will have more energy, velocity and less drop and wind drift so it's better in every way that I can see, but I'm very biased to the 270 cal stuff. :D The 270 just kills stuff that is why it is still alive and well, I read an article in a mag that took record book entries and broke them down by cal and specie and the 270 is still a top killer, more game is taken only with the 7mm, if I recall correctly. Recoil will be less in the 270 driving a 140gr bullet at the same speed than a 150 gr 30 cal. If you romp on it it will recoil more but all things the same except bullet weight the heavier bullet will recoil more. I only know one guy who shoots a 308 and he only packs it if he thinks he will be shooting inside 200yrds other wise he packs a larger cal. [/QUOTE]
