7mm rem mag vs. .270win

Having used both calibers on deer, I would opt for the big 7. From my point of view, I would choose a .243 (which I have for a long time) over the .270. Simple reason being it kills just as quick and has a lot less recoil. The .270's that I've shot all seem to recoil as much as my 7's have so I see no benefit in that realm. So if I'm going to use something bigger than a .243, I jump to the 7. It's a lot more comforting knowing that the deer is not going anywhere when you pull the trigger (those of you hunting in PA know exactly what I'm talking about). Every year I'm around a lot of people using the trusty .270 (as I'm sure most everyone is) and every year I've failed to be impressed. Maybe it's me, but I just don't get all the hype.
