They all will work fine, with correct bullet selection.

As for the recoil, after my Dad's neck fusion surgery I started loading 43gr IMR 4895 under a 130gr Hornady sp, recoil was noticeably less for him and still a lot of dead deer.


It's been a few years and he has healed up some so I load 45 gr. nowadays. I ran out of powder one year so I cooked him up some other mix and he didn't like the recoil noticed it on his first shot. I ended up giving those to me nephew and going and buying more powder >.<


I personally hunt with a .277 Wolverine, and a 6.8X43.
