I was reading about Franz Albreicht Speilberg from Wildboar Fever TV. He says he started with a 30-06, then went to a 300 Win Mag nit now shoots a 270 Win. He says the lighter recoil and velocity matter more than a larger caliber, especially when shooting running hogs on drives. He obviously does quite well with it, and being German royalty, has his choice of whatever he wants.
