About the only real pattern that has appeared in these tests is that the combination that loses the LEAST velocity in shorter barrels is heavier bullets with slower-burning powders. This is backwards from a lot of theorizing, but that's what happens when short-barreled rifles are actually shot.
Heavier bullets IME produce a better more uniform powder burn. Less drama than with the light wieghts
I got banned on another web site for a debate that happened on this site. That's a first

I get you weren't questionong 'manhood". My point was that as far as 30 06's go the 7600 hits hard due to it's moderate weight, not so friendly stock design, and lack of a recoil pad. Have a good day yourself.

Best thing to do with a 7600 is to put a decent pad on it.

The 7600 is a kicking fool as from the factory in 30 06. JDK- I'm not what part of the state you are in, but I'll let you fire off a few rounds from a 7600 .30-06 Carbine (18.5" barrel) that I have so you can see how jumpy they are. I'm not sure it would help your decision or not. Thank you. I'm in Caribou. I'm about 5 hours south of you, so I'm not sure you will be passing by anytime soon. If you make it down to York county, swing on by. I have hunted the Allagash before. Nice country up there in 'The County'.
Ready, Fire, Aim

Yepper it's just you...  Never quite seen the reasoning to stick a short action round in a rig that will handle longer rounds. Unless you do it in a 35 Rem and that's just cause it's cool! Dober My dad ran a 35 Rem in a model 14 with a 2x Lyman Alaskan for 25 +years.It was up close and personal and very very fast.When I was 10 years old I watched him dump two does just about as fast as you could work the action.Both DRTs. To this day I stand in awe of some of the shooting I saw him do. He always used to tell me that,"you have to work the action like your going to tear it in two." In later years I bought him an up dated slide master in 308 carbine.He liked it right up untill the time the clip fell out and he needed a second shot.He never used it again..... dave

JDK: Sounds pretty grim up there......when I hunted it,I would guess the check station in Monticello alone did that many animals.......F&G better do something....likely too many coyotes and too many cedar swamps getting cut......
Also, double the moose harvest.....
The 280 Remington is overbore.
The 7 Rem Mag is over bore.

Flip a coin...........you can't lose either way.
My slight preference, though, would be the 270 caused I've used it so successfully for so long..........no real down side & the new bullets have just made it better, though Partitions are never a poor choice in either caliber.

See a deer shot with a 270. See a deer shot with a 30/06. Without seeing the recovered bullet can you tell them apart? I can't. There isn't enough difference in field performance to trade one rifle for the other.
If in your 270 you shoot 130 or 140 grain bullets then the felt recoil is less than a 30/06 using a 150 or heavier grain bullet, all things being equal.
