Either one is a good choice.

As far as recoil goes, alot depends on the rifle itself, and the ammo used.

in general the .308 should kick a little harder, all things being equal, but if you were firing light loads in the .308 and heavy in the .270 that could explainit.

or your .270 _may_ have very tight tolerances in the barrel?

there's any number of things it could be, but a decent gunsmith should be able to look it over and tell you what is causing it.

again either one would be a fine choice for almost all hunting available in north america, depending on user skill, and proper loadings.

pcik the one that you like, and feels best for you, for general purposes most people wouldn't notice the differences in them.
