[QUOTE="okieloader, post: 1015208, member: 85740"] To answer your question the best I can, I don't know what I don't know, to be honest. What I think may be my direction is first to enter into long range shooting. I love the technical aspects of the process and equipment. As an extension of that, I can see whitetail and maybe elk in my future. I have hunted many types of smaller game, but never the size of deer or bigger. My primary desire was knock down power. Yes, I do reload. At the present I reload 9mm, 45 and 223. I see no reason I wouldn't also reload 30-06 in the near future. Weight? I don't think that will be an issue. As far as recoil sensitivity is concerned, I don't know. I have shot some skeet and trap using a 12ga which wasn't awful, even after 100 rounds or so. That said, I've never shot a 30-06 before. Like I have said, I am a newbie at this and I really don't know what I don't know. I have researched at length and think I know a little, but then that's why I'm here, to learn important lessons before I start dropping green backs. So far the help has been great. [/QUOTE]
