Recoil differences?

Question

What is the differences between the recoil of a 270. win with a 150 grain and a 30-30 marlin.

Answer 1

not much but maybe the 30-30 by a flash second but by hunting effectiveness a 30-30 beats by a longshot at close range that is at long range the 270 because past 200 yards 30-30 bullets start to drop if i had to pick from the two i would pick the 270 because where i hunt i hunt in semi open fields so the 270 would be my right hand gun but if i were brush hunting i would pick the 30-30

Answer 2

Not very much.* It would be difficult to feel much difference.*

Answer 3

The .270 will kick considerably more, given the higher velocities within the same bullet weight.

Answer 4

The weight of the rifle is a large factor in felt recoil, the heaver the gun the less felt recoil.

The 30-30 kicks with 10 to 11 pounds of recoil, the 270 has about 16 to 18, so the 270 kicks a bit more.

You will note that the 270 has recoil similar to the 30-06.
