Bob, a midweight 300 WSM, to me, recoils about like the same weight 7mm RM. But stock design is more important than recoil figures for sure.
Aside, a 7.5-8lb all-up 300 WSM is a LOT of cartridge and likely is my "ideal" elk platform. A sub 7lb all-up 30-06 is also big elk medicine IMO/E. Either would work as an all-arounder for me. 308 Win too... hey, I like 30's what can I say!
