.243 vs .270 recoil

[luberhill]

I usually hunt with a .243 for deer and have killed several .

  I have a chance to buy a .270 cheap .

 I do have a bad shoulder and that’s part of the reason I picked the .243 

  How much harder does the .270 kick ?

  And is it that much better for deer

Myself I hunted with a 270 for years before our property grew to bigger fields with 400yd shots frequently needed so jumped up to a 300Wby Mag. The 270 will have a little bigger punch to the shoulder then the 243 for sure. I would guess you would handle the difference in punch unless the shoulder is in real rough shape.  Sight the 270 in with the lead sled so you feel nothing as you get it to tack driving and with the excitement of the hunt/shot you won’t notice the little kick.
