[QUOTE="Ian M, post: 61092, member: 25"] There are long range competitive shooters who could probably answer that question best. I had the good fortune to shoot an almost matched pair of tactical style rifles a few years ago, one in .300 Win and the other in .300 WSM. Shot a bunch of ammo all the way out to 1000yards for a magazine article. Bottom line is that either cartridge is pretty easy to shoot in a fifteen pound rifle as far as recoil goes. We agreed that the WSM seemed to kick a bit less tho. I am shooting and hunting with an 8 pound .300 WSM and truth is the little bugger kicks pretty hard. It kills like lightning too, my longest shot was just a bit under 800 and I am pretty sure it would do a good job farther. [/QUOTE]
