Daughter #1 took her .308 Win elk hunting this year with a 130g TTSX running over 3Kfps at the muzzle. Hunting buddy took his 7mm RM/160g Grand Slam.
A .300 WBY would have been a ridiculous choice for Daughter, who is rather petite, because she is recoil sensitive as well as for my hunting buddy because of prior shoulder surgeries and ongoing shoulder issues related to his diabetes. He is already well past the point of need a lower recoil rifle.
The 'best' choice for them was one that worked for them, not one that wouldn't.

No, I'm not a Ruger bigot - just an unabashed fan of their revolvers, M77's and #1's.
