[QUOTE="jaybo, post: 1474028, member: 46742"] I had a 270WSM and was shooting 150gr bullets. The recoil was nothing compared to the 300WM with 200gr bullets. The 270WSM could be shot all day long with no problem. If that is the route you want to go, get a 1:8 or 1:9 barrel twist rate. The 1:9 will shoot the 165 Matrix bullets and the 1:8 the 170 Bergers. Read some of Big n Green post on the 165 Matrix bullets on elk at long range. He swears by them but I am not sure what barrel length he is using. That being said, I would look into the difference of recoil with the 300WM with 165 grain bullets. That will give you more options later and if you are hunting in grizzly country I'd carry some heavy rounds just for piece of mind especially after a kill. [/QUOTE]
