With today’s bullets the paradigm has shifted the landscape of game calibers significantly downward.
My Sako 338WM may just become a 7mm RM.
As for recoil the 300 vs 7 mag in identical rifles, there is a recognizable increase with the 300.
Less recoil is never bad.
Less recoil makes a rifle easier to shoot.
Everyone has their personal favorites including me. As I get older my 338 has less appeal and the 7mm RM has a very good chance of replacing it. The 300 WM? Not likely.
