The Whelen will have less felt recoil. maybe?
Randy,
From my experience it does. Had both the Whelen and .300 in the Remington KS. The .300 was pretty sporty in a 7.6ish# rifle. (with scope) Of course the Whelen in a lighter package will get your attention when shooting the 250gr/up too.
The .300 went down the road, the Whelen stayed.
