[QUOTE="joseywales, post: 58243, member: 3452"] These "new woman" and "small women" and junior posts always kill me. I am a man and I HATE recoil. Why would I want to use a magnum if I didn't need to? I recently grabbed a used Remington BDL in 7mm-08. I had a brand new Winchester 70 Featherweight in 7mm-08 and it kicked like hell. I tried it in 6.5x55 and it wasn't much better. The Remington BDL in 7mm-08 is fun to shoot and I believe I can kill anyhing in North America with it. One thing to remember about recoil is the stock design and apparently Remington's is better than Winchester, at least for ME. This is a subjective thing. I fell into the magnum spell and bought a 7mm magnum in an older Sako AV action. Beautiful gun, topped with a 4200 Elite, and it kicks less than the 270 Remington synthetic they sell at Walmart. I've fired them side by side. Check for fit, try to find higher end stocks ddesgined for reducing recoil. The 6.5x55 Swede will also kill anything in North America. Europeans have used them for year on their moose, whciha re similar in size to our elk. True, moose are easier to kill than elk, but the 6.5x55 is a gret penetrator and will do the job if the shooter does their. Check out the ballistics on both the 7mm-08 and the 6.5x55 and you'll like what you see. The 6.5 is actually better than the 06 in similar grain bullets. Recoil is slightly less with the 7mm-08, again, depending on the rifle and fit. Good luck to you! [/QUOTE]
