For many years I wanted to hate the 270 WCF, then I compared it with the 7mm RM and found it largely identical. Except the 270 would accept another round down in the magazine. No creature you can shoot with one will know the difference from the other. Begrudgingly, I have become a fan of the 270 WCF. From 130 grain to 160 grain, it is a killer.
Most average / typical shooters can hit more consistently with a 270 than a 7 Mag....................that alone makes it more effective for most hunters.

M M - What you said is true for a lot or some hunters, no argument.
For Me, Noticeable Recoil BEGINS with my 8 mm Rem Mag. 80 grs - IMR 4831 - 200 gr Nos, 3100 FPS.
JRS wound up close to that with 220 gr bullets.
** Again - My load in the 700 BDL is less punishing than the 338 WM in a 77 Tanger (OG). I've experienced that.
I have absolutely NO trouble shooting my T3X Lite SS 7mm RM. Not only have I killed WT but also coyotes.

I never think about recoil with that gun 'before' or 'after' making the shot. I've made kills on WT & coyotes out to 300 yds
My load in MY rifle is only +/- 8 " low at 400 yds. ( 3" Hi at 100 yds ) That is what I like about it.
As we all know (I think) recoil tolerance is an individual thing.
