I'm asking because my son is shying away from the 30-06 recoil, even with 150g bullets. I'm figuring that shifting to the 270 will be the answer, but I've never experimented with lighter bullets in the 30-06. That would be an easier switch.

How stout are the 150 loads?


And what about a recoil pad?
