I did some 125grn taipans for a mate,he was decapitating goats with them....
nearly bought dirty06 but stuck with .270 as have heaps of projectiles for it.
lighter loads for small stuff...cast loads for plinking and on big stuff what ever you like,recoil doesnt even factor when see a big red.
bog standard 150grn hornady interlocts work very well.

I've got a M1917 and a Howa with a boyds stock. Both reasonably heavy. the M1917 is nicer to shoot coz of the weight but the howa kicks pretty hard with the 180 grains. It will be a pisser when I run out of corlokt as I'll have to change to super x which has a different POI to the 180sst's.
