[QUOTE="35 Whelen, post: 1520896, member: 105990"] All the ones you list will work fine. Out of all of them it would be between the 270 Win. and the 30-06, The 270 Win. Is one of my favorites but the 30-06's using heaver bullets gives a slight edge with penetration. I have become very found of the 35 Whelen, it shoots about the sane as the 30-06 but with a heaver bullet and only very slightly more recoil. In a short action I'd go with the 270WSM or 308 Win. My 270 WSM's recoil is about the same as the 30-06, but my 308 and 270 win.'s are not much less, not much that I notice any may. My wife on the other hand can notice the difference in her 270 Win. with 130 gr. bullets and the 150 gr. bullets. I don't. I have 270win, 270wsm, 308win, 30-06, 300win. mag., 35whelen, and there all grate. If recoil is a big concern for you I'd go with the 270 Win. or 7mm-08. 270 Win. ammo may be a tad easer to find in small towns. Other wise pick the one that really intrigues you the most, it's kind of like looking for a wife, the one that your heart calls out to is the one you will be the happiest with. Happy hunting and shooting. [/QUOTE]
