[QUOTE="winmag, post: 573401, member: 22166"] Wow, that's a tough one. Your Really handicaping yourself by removing the only viable option (30 cal due to bullet selection). Elk at 1k takes some doing for a squirl gun, & vise-versa. Pyrodux said it well as far as recoil goes. A good break reduces massive amounts of recoil. Watch some of the videos posted here with.12 yr old little girls shooting Monster cartriges & whackin critters waaaaay out there. Now, Im no expert, but I certainly haven't met any 12 yr old girls who look like they could handle massive amounts of recoil. A good break can work wonders. Recoil sensitivity is a very big contributer to accuracy, plus There's a ton of guys out there who have had shoulder sergury, or heart sergury who just plain cannot chance tearing themselves up trying to look tough. Then there are those who just plain don't like recoil due to body build, bone structure etc. & no one likes to be beat up while trying to make long shots consistantly. It's still gotta be fun, or what's the point right? If recoil is still a major concern, Maybe a .270 wsm with matrix bullets. I dunno. I haven't pushed mine that far, nor have I used those bullets cause I have bigger rigs for big stuff at distance, but bigngreen uses his with great success. Fling him a PM. He's easy enough to talk to, plus he's probably wore out more barrels in that cartrige than 99+% of the people here. He's not affraid to strech its legs, & one of his posts in the Elk section shows his 850?-860? Yd bull this year with his 270 wsm & matrix bullets. Good luck. [/QUOTE]
