[QUOTE="nealm66, post: 2213357, member: 114809"] Man, I can see where picking one cartridge would be hard these days. I will say that new bullet technology is helping to widen a cartridges boundaries. I think gun design has helped lessen the recoil quite a bit as well. I think if you’re a bigger guy with a built in padded shoulder, it’s really hard to beat the versatility of the 30 calibers. I’ve wore out 4 300 win mags through the years and only one had a brake. Personally, I wouldn’t go back to an unbraked one. Not that it can’t be shot well but definitely allows more range time. I think for hunting purposes it’s a really good idea to see where a cold and follow up shot groups if a guy wants to reach out very far and find a cartridge that you can make decent shots from a variety of positions so having something that doesn’t destroy your shoulder or feel unbalanced is a heavy factor.
