I am a big dude but a little recoil sensitive. I had a light savage in 7mm mag and it kicked my butt. I did take a couple of deer and an elk with it. Additionally, it shot lights out. That being said, I bought a .270 win in a Tikka and have never looked back. Again I have taken a large bull and several deer with this rifle and don't mind practicing with it all day long.
I would not however go and buy a large .30 caliber to replace my 7mm. With the right bullet I am pretty sure it is just right for all except the largest North American animals.
