[QUOTE="22250imp, post: 1844093, member: 54777"] I have always been a fan of the 300 win mag. The versatility is really great if you are a hand loader. Light to heavy, you can do it all. With that being said I know own a Winchester chambered in a 330 Dakota. Absolutely love it. Might be my imagination but the recoil seems less than on my than my 300 mag. Seems to be more of a push rather than the sharp crack. I would suggest put your hands on as many different rifles as you can before purchasing. See what feels good. What fits good. Then what you can afford. As stated before, "and I'm not wanting to start an argument here", bigger bullets don't make up for poor shooting but a bigger and heavier bullet is going to have more shock and cause more damage and have more penetration on a marginal shot than a lighter bullet. Better to have a caliber that will get the job done better if there is a marginal shot than having one that has to be a perfect shot. As we all know, there are no excuses for taking a poor shot but sometimes **** happens. [/QUOTE]
