John, OK, I concede that point. I didn’t think there wasn’t a great deal of difference between the 270 Win and the 270 WSM, only having experience with the 270 Win. So I, incorrectly, thought that with similar rifle weights and similar bullet weights.... recoil would be very similar. I guess I growing up in a different era...... at 14, shooting a relatively lightweight.308 Win. with plastic butt. I’m certainly “not” a tough guy or “he-man”......I guess I just learned to tolerate recoil. I also tend to forget that many people have shoulder issues, rotator cuff, arthritis, bursitis, ect. , which certainly plays into recoil tolerance! I should have “fully” read the OP’s post, and owe the OP an apology! memtb
