[QUOTE="Retired Educator, post: 190684, member: 3373"] Another way to reduce recoil, especially with some of today's quality bullets is to use the Laws of Physics. A lighter bullet going out results in less recoil coming back. The rules of velocity will still be involved but from my perception with my .270, a 110gr Barnes TTSX seems to have less felt recoil than a common 130gr. bullet in same gun. For that reason you will find it easier to obtain a lighter bullet in the .243, 25-06, 6.5, etc than in the .308 or even 7mm. On the converse if you ever want to use the gun on larger game then the .30 or 7mm's might be a better choice. I have both a .270 and a .25-06 and wouldn't go elk hunting with the .25-06 but do love it on deer size game. Ballistically when I bought the .25-06 I thought it had better ballistics than the .243. All the more reason to buy another gun. [/QUOTE]
