Low recoil rifle for elk, deer, etc. but .270 or larger caliber

[UnckleBob]

I didn’t even think about this. NID is right. You can hardly find a bullet heavier than 150gr in .277 while there’s a large selection of .284 bullets.

As previously mentioned … 7-08 is your huckleberry.

155g LRX
165G Accubond LR
160G Partition
170G Ballistic Tip
175G Tipped Game King
170G Berger Elite Hunter
170G Soft Points

270 w 130 gr doesnt kick bad. 7-08 is likewise good, a lil slower than 270, which is why it kicks less.

6.5cm aint much less than 7-08.

I mean a good brake on a 280 ai is solid

How light is your 308? My tikka in 308 weighs about 9lb and i don't think it has much recoil at all. About as much as my 6.5 maybe a little more.
