[QUOTE="jrock, post: 958597, member: 78569"] Less than 500 yards, I'd go with 30-06. I made the choice to go 7mm RM so I could shoot the highest BC bullet in 180 grains and I didn't want the recoil of the .300 WM. The recoil is a noticeable jump from a 30-06 to a 7mm and another jump to the .300 WM. I've shot 60 rounds of 30-06 in one sitting just fine but can't shoot more than 40 with 7mm before my shoulder is too mushy. I'm glad I didn't go .300 WM. I plan to be able to shoot farther than 500 yards otherwise I would have gone 30-06. Spend some good time looking at ballistics and energy retention for different bullets for each of the 3 guns. 30-06 costs less to shoot. [/QUOTE]
