Rifle Caliber Recommendation - 270/308/30-06

[BayouBuck985]

For those who have all three or at least two of the trio (270, 308, 30-06), is the recoil in the 30-06 really noticeably more? And it seems that the recoil from a 308 would be similar to the 270. I’d be shooting 145/150-gr bullets in the 270, if I end up with that round, but it seems it would be similar recoil to the 30-06, at least when shooting 150-gr bullets.

Felt recoil is hard to judge as I've never shot them in the same or similar rifles. The 30-06 I've shot were noticably more. The 308 seemed to have the least but was heavier than my 270.

All else being equal the 30-06 will have more. However you could use a 150 grain bullet to lower somewhat. Not a huge difference either way.
