JB,
Yep............you covered it all very well.
For the most part, for most people, for most ranges & applications, it's all kind of a moot point & just something to BS about.
And of course, you are on the mark about recoil...........even though the 270 isn't a "hard kicker" by any means, it's surely more that the 6.5, or the 7-08 for that matter too, especially with stiff 150 gr. loads.
I was just kinda pokin' you a bit & your response was a great explanation of the real world for most folks except the die-hard's in either case who always know more than they understand.
In most arguments, one can always find "facts" or "data" on either side to support one's view.
Thanks for taking the time to compose an excellent response.
MM
