Spyder if you want a "step" up all around big game cartridge, look at the 338 Win Mag?
Thats what I would look at if I already had a 270
Before or after the sex change...
I looked at the 338. My fear is developing a flinch, and being able to shoot enough to get proficient. I am mainly a shotgun shooter. Although, 12 gauge slugs pack a good punch, as to 3 1/2 inch turkey loads.
What is the recoil comparison of the 30-06, 300 WM, and 338?
