7mm

[dvani]

Hey guys. Just wondering I shoot a 270 win. I"m looking to get a bigger rifle such as a 7mm rem mag. I'm looking at the browning x bolt. I was just wondering is there a big difference in recoil between the 270 or 7mm. Just wondering.

I dont think my 7mm rem mag remington cdl kicks any harder than my rem 7400 30.06! And it shoots great!

I just moved from Tikka 270 win to x bolt 300 wsm. Recoil is almost the same. Some practice and you'll be fine.

It will mostly depend on how well the x bolt fits you, as well as the grain of bullet you use. Make sure you position the scope to give you 4+" of eye relief and let her buck!

I went from a 270 to 7mm rem mag last year . more barrell lift and bang but recoil wasn't really a problem. Then again I also shot a lot of .303 down an old enfield and that one kicked like a mule so I may have been comparing it to the 7. I am shooting the sps with a cheap stock

Just a question but other than on the tables and numbers can anyone tell me first hand that game goes down any quicker when shot with a 7mm rather than a .270? I cant see any evidence that the game notices a difference between a 30-06 and a .270 and the 7mm is only incrementaly superior to the 30-06 in killing power, just asking.

In my hunting family of five men we have 8 rifles that are chambered in .277cal(270).I cant tell the difference in Recoil in them compared to the 7mm cartridges,except for the 7mm RUM which i've never shot.My Cousins custom Martini and Hagn 270wby rifle that has a 28" Octogan barrel shoots a 140 grain nosler pill @3400' per second.

However I really like the 7mm RUM,that thing has Balls!
