I do not have a shoulder issue, I just dont like beating the heck out of my self at the range if I dont have to.
I have shot a friend's .308 and it was much more tame than my .270, however...his .308 was a wooden thumbhole stocked varmint barreled gun. My .270 was a synthetic sporter stocked, sporter barreled gun.
I have an AR in 5.56 that is accurate so I don't want a bolt gun in the same caliber as well, at least not now.
Everything I have read indicates .308 WIN is less recoil than .270 WIN. Going to a larger bullet that hits game harder with bullets more widely target shot than .270 with better bullet options just seems like no reason I shouldn't shoot .308 over .270.
The long term goal is actually a .260 REM target/varmint gun. From what I have read .308 to .260 REM is a simple change. That yields a low recoil and highly accurate round great for target shooting. In the meantime, I have been attracted to the .308.
