[QUOTE="olympicmotors, post: 757883, member: 63459"] I am 51 years old, weigh about 155 lbs and have been shooting all my life. I moved up to a 7mm magnum from a 30 06 about 25 years ago, and about 2 years ago finally sold it and bought a 300 win mag. I am not recoil sensitive and love the caliber but about 3 months ago I was at the range and shot about 25 rounds through it in one sitting. My shoulder was a little sore when I left , but got much worse and I have been having quite a bit of pain with it every day. Went to the Dr. and he x-ray'd it and said yeah he could see it was inflamed, gave me some ibuprofen and sent me home. My shoulder seems to be getting better very slowly, but I really do not want to go through this again, and have been thinking it is time to move down to a softer recoiling caliber. I have been thinking about 30 06 or 308. really want to go with an established , easy to find caliber that will not go " out of style " if several years. Also easy to find in out of the way stores with limited selection. I am leaning toward 308 , but would like any input you can give. Thanks [/QUOTE]
