Setting up a .Tikka T3 in .270 Win for the Girlfriend who is about to graduate nursing school in the spring. She isnt a new shooter, but I would like to lessen the recoil for her and not having any experience with the .270 win, I was wondering if there is any recoil difference between the 130, 140 and 150 grain bullet loadings? The rifle will be a whitetail and hog gun, with ranges under 300 yards. Thoughts and Opinions?
Best thing to do for her and the Tikka is to put a Limbsaver pad on it, then shoot whichever 130 gr bullet it shoots best. If she can’t manage that, Hornady makes reduced recoil loads in 270. If you handload, the 110 gr Barnes TTSX at warp speed kills well with about the same recoil as a 25-06.
