   I grew up shooting in the Waikato. I used a 30/06 one mate used a 270 the other used a 308. We all killed lots of animals. No real difference between any of them. But this was the late ‘80’s early...

   Definitely. I would almost go as far as saying it make most of the difference between the various similar calibres. The math is actually pretty simple- the muzzle energy will exactly match the...

   One thing in your favour if you buy secondhand is that for no good reason that I can ascertain, 270 is slightly out of fashion Great cartridge but marketing bollocks has deemed other things newer...

    I'd try buy something used, there are a tonne of rifles out there with barely 100 rounds through them. You can go to gun stores and look at all the different rifles, but if you can find something...

    Powder charge also makes a significant contribution to recoil, more per grain than the projectile. The .270 uses powder charges up to 60 grains or more compared to less than 50 grains in the 7mm-08...

    I would definitely encourage you to go second hand. There are some good rifles going for real bargains at the moment. Seem to be more rifles than buyers around.

    Recoil on the 270 is about the same as 308, 30/06 et al. Where muzzle energy is similar recoil is the same. I think the reason the 270 got the reputation for big recoil is that the earlier loads...
