I owned a Ruger M77 in a 270. It kicked more than the 3 Ruger 7 mags that I owned. I got rid of it and the 7 mags after a few years. I've had 2 different 6.5x55 rifles that I have enjoyed shooting way more than the 270 I owned. The deer I've shot with the 6.5 did't run any further if they ran at all.
