I agree.

Only around my area this is bit different. "...most people cannot tolerate more recoil than about the 30/06 level. I have seen this confirmed in years of working the bench at sight in days at the range, working in a gun store, and at hunting camp seeing an average of at least 5 hunters a year from out of state show up to hunt."

At both place I've lived in the past 40yrs I've had a 100yd range. For most of those yrs shooters would show up with their .30-06 bolts,pumps,and semiautos. Next would be the .308's. Starting I'd guess about 15yrs ago I started noticing more and more .270's and similar or smaller cartridges. Very rarely do I see a .30-06 or anything of more power any more. Of course I'm talking only about my range experiences. Smarter hunters or wussies? LOL
