Here ya go,once again.
And the Answer is,especially concerning the 270 Winchester is
NO

So your answer about more bullet availability,Light bullets in the 06 BLAH BLAH is correct!
However it doesn,t make any difference as there are more than enough bullets and Loads for a wide variety of calibers that will accomplish the things the 06 does on the game the op mentioned with less recoil.
Which is EXACTLY what the op asked.
YOU could say that 16 ounces is a pound and you WOULD BE RIGHT
BUT that is not answering the op question !
