Of course rifle weight, stock fit, recoil pad etc all count very much the crossover cartridge for me is the 300 Magnum. I just don't enjoy shooting them much but I have them.

I was thinking of what cartridge to pick for the SA Magnum that is on order. Some choices would be a 270 WSM, 7 mm WSM, 300 WSM, 338 WSM or even the 350 RM. Since I intend to wear out the barrel on this rifle shooting it from the bench and practicing hunting positions I went with the 270 WSM.

Who needs to get kicked around all that much? John Wooters has not been heard from since he got his eye ruined by recoil.
