I don't have too much experience shooting big magnums, but when I shot my buddies 338LM with the big 50 cal looking muzzle brake. I was pleasantly surprised where I wanted to shoot it more and more. It has been couple of year and only one outing, but I think it had less recoil than my hot 270 win. I felt we were too close shooting at 400 yard targets with that thing.


All of them do something better than the 30-06, but none of them do everything as well.
