Recoil Energy
270 150g 16#
308 150g 14#
30-06 150g 18#
Short actions RULE!
kinda hard to believe that cause you have to factor the weight of the rifle assuming they are they exact same rifle in weight then using remington factory ammo the 270 and 06 have almost the same mel vel so the felt recoil should be the same
but motor oil is motor oil none of them are that bad

06 vs 308
same bullet .308 diameter
short action vs long action
up to 150 gn bullets the short action smaller case will run with the o6 but moving up towards the 180 gn bullet the o6 will have an edge
the 270 is a .277 bullet in the o6 case
now u need to think 7/08
7mm .284 bullet in the 308 case :d
Obviously the 7mm08.....best of both military worlds! LOL
It's all in the BC! Baby!
270..150g. Core Lock 0.26

Seriously MidTN....get the .308....The rest of this is just a bunch of jibber jabber that a dead deer doesn't really appreciate at all, just to techno freaks that surf this site! HA!

UTGrad said:.30 06'...it killed alot of Japs and Krauts, but the .308 has killed some Hajis!

I have 308, 30-06, & 300 win mag.
For deer size game and smaller go with the 308. If I had to pick one it would be 30-06.
I love my 300 win mag but you have to be able to handle recoil. It is a flat shooting big bullet gun. I get great results with 180 grain bullets. I would shoot up to Moose size game.
The 30-06 is a great round up to Elk size game.
I like the .308 because I hunt with an AR-10. Doubles as Zombie killer. Military ammo readily available.
All 3 calibers are good. Some good advice pick the one you are most comfortable with and the one you can get the best deal on because that will improve your accuracy without hurting your pocketbook . I have a M1A1 in 308 that I put a good 3X9 scope on I have hunted with and it and my Remington 700 ADL both are accurate rifles.
