[QUOTE="el matador, post: 1476194, member: 12193"] Recoil is going to be a function of bullet weight and velocity when comparing cartridges of similar capacity. The 270 WSM shooting 170s will recoil very much the same as a 300 WSM shooting 180s. Or a 7mm with 180s. Bullet diameter has zero effect on recoil. I own a 270 WSM that shoots really well but I wouldn't buy it again. There are just so few bullet choices in .277 compared to the .264s, .284s, and .308s. Instead of a 270 WSM I would personally choose a 7 SAUM or neck the 270 WSM up to 7mm. In this caliber you have numerous bullet options from every manufacturer. And a bunch of great options in the 150-180 grain range. With the 270 you have some good 150 grain choices but its slim pickin's if you go heavier. Sometimes a specific bullet doesn't shoot well from your rifle no matter what you try. Other times you change your mind and want to try something different. Both scenarios are bad news for a 270 WSM shooter. [/QUOTE]
