Love my 300wsm, been shooting it for many years now.
Heck I took a blue grouse with it one year, head shot and the meat was fine.
Great pronghorn rifle, have taken many hogs with it too.
I have also taken cow bison, moose and elk with it in addition to the elk and deer every year.
I find recoil to be no problem, my handloads are on the hot side but not quite max.
Nice flat shooting if loaded with the right bullets, I load 165-168 gr bonded bullets. Spouse shoots one also and loads up 180 gr accubonds.
150 gr bullets would be interesting loaded out towards max.
I shoot a Sako A7 and love the shorter throw on the bolt and the short action helps with weight.
