if a 130-150 grain projectile nudging either side of 3000fps kicks in a standard weight rifle than the stock is less than optimal or the recoil pad is junk.
I know the 3006 can handle heavier projectiles but I bet if the numbers match it would kick just like a 270. Plus Id rather shoot a 130gr 270 than a 130gr 3006 projectile.
even more so if you went lighter.
NZ got hit with those junk NZFS rounds and it spoiled the 270 for a lot here I reckon. You don't seem to hear the same criticisms in The good ol' US of A and you know how much they like the big calibres over there.
