I recognize recoil perception varies greatly from shooter to shooter but for me, there was a world of difference between the 30-06 and 300 WM.
So let me ask the question in a different way... for those that have experience with these cartridges, would you say the 300 wsm recoil is closer to the 30-06 or 300 Win mag?
Id say recoil is more towards 300wm. I like the 06. I had a 300win mag and the recoil wasn't horrible, I wasn't able to concentrate as well as I could with the 06. Sold the Win mag eventually. Id pick a 30-06 over WSM but it's subjective.
