[QUOTE="kburdic1, post: 1521067, member: 92974"] I'm not sure what you define as "light" recoil. If you have shoulder issues, I would recommend a 6.5 Creedmoor with 143gr-150gr bullets. It fits all your criteria for accuracy, field weight, retail ammo availability, and stopping power. 308Win would also be a great round if you can take a bit more recoil. I know there are a lot of "go big or go home" guys out here, but if you are already sensitive to recoil and you will be putting significant rounds downrange for practice, don't punish yourself. There is no legal animal in North America that you can't put down with these two calibers. It all comes down to shot placement. Good luck! [/QUOTE]
