I use both. A .270 150 Grain for Deer and a .30-06 165 grain for Elk. Both from the same rifles, Tikka T-3 Lites. I cannot tell any difference in felt recoil. There may be measurable difference, but it must be very small. I do not have special recoil pads on the rifles, however I use a gel recoil pad in my shirt. Just my humble opinion.
