Bowman and his guides noted that many clients shot better,and wounded less game with 270's and 30/06's than they did with the 300 Weatherbys so popular at the time,due to excessive recoil.Bowman and his guides understood that BG animals at any distance are killed by putting good bullets in the right place;not by theoretical mumbo jumbo.Moderate recoil helps people do this.
Yep, and this is why I have always felt that the 7mm Remington Magnum and .375 H&H Magnum are two of the most practical and useful belted mags ever dreamt up. I've always felt that the 7mm Remington Magnum is about as close to the perfect all-around cartridge (for a North American hunter) that there is. There certainly are a few cartridges that shoot flatter, but they tend to be either far more specialized or lots harder on the shoulder.
