[QUOTE="JASmith, post: 2127886, member: 24844"] Wow! A busy thread! After having used a 378 Wetherby Magnum as a very young adult I found that a truly lived that rifle. Fast forward to the late 90s from the mid-60s and I discovered hat a long hiatus from shooitng left me a bit recoil averse. I started using a 270 Win instead. Today, my favorite is the 6.5 Grendel, but my comments are focused on the 30-06 recoil and performance. There is NOTHING wrong with the '06! Should one be worried about that wack on the shoulder or classic Weathery eye, try using reduced recoil loads (commercial or had rolled) for most casual shooting. Then use your serious ammunition a few time before the hunt. BTW that commercial reduced recoil stuff is seriously effective on deer-class game, so it might become one's go-too ammunition anyway. Then one has the best of both worlds because siply by switching one's ammunition the '06 will readily harvest just about any North American animal. [/QUOTE]
