I want, but do I really need a 300 WSM?

[QUOTE="WildRose, post: 2422730, member: 30902"] You're going to take a considerable step up in felt recoil with the 30 cal unless you're shooting light for caliber bullets. WIth your neck issues that might be at least somewhat problematic unless you compensate for it with a good suppressor or brake, mercury recoil reducer and/limbsaver or Pachmayr recoil pad. I'm lucky I have similar neck issues and have not notice recoil really being a big problem for me even with my Rum's and 375 Rugers but you might want to think on it before taking the big jump. Personally I'd stay with the 300wm if I wanted to move back up in caliber but that's just me. The only thing the WSM does the WM doesn't is fit into a shorter action. Keep in mind though that the WSM's have more feeding issues than the WM. [/QUOTE]
