I have a 270 and 270wsm. Below are some calculated recoil levels from this site
http://www.chuckhawks.com/recoil_table.htm , the 270wsm has slightly more calculated recoil but my guess is if you compare a 270 in a 760 (used to have one in 06) against a 270wsm in a bolt, you may find the wsm has less felt recoil between those 2 choices.

As a loader ammo availability and cost have a zero factor in my choice of a cartridge. With that I just don't have a desire to ever again buy a standard long action when I can have equivalent magnum level performance (or less if that is my choice) in a short action. I also have never bought a magnum because of its "power", excepting my 375. I choose a magnum solely for its long range ballistics. The higher velocity allows me a greater tolerance in screwing up the distance and wind estimation in different terrains. Faster and higher bc bullets allow me to hit better despite my estimating deficiencies.
The 7wsm never caught on but I don't care about that, the only reason I went with a 270wsm is because despite months of searching by myself and a few big name outfits (Cabelas has a gun search group) I was unable to find one of the few Sako 75 Finnlights in 7wsm. So as second choice I went with the 270wsm. But I would take a quality lightweight 7wsm in a heartbeat. I perceive no practical field advantage in stepping up to the next recoil level of a 30 cal. The 7mm bullets have extremely good bc and sd w/o 30 cal recoil.
If the discussion is really limited to Pa, like one of the above poster stated, the 708 in a lightweight bolt is a very good choice. You'll likely not use the extra ballistic advantage of a wsm unless you like the long shots, out to 300yd a standard cartridge is just fine.
