RE: Really need help!..300wby, win mag, or 7mm rem mag?
If your used to shooting a 30-06, then a 300win mag would be the next logical step. I had a few RUM's and once you learn to shoot big mags, they are not bad at all. I know years and years ago when I started shooting win mags, I came home with a bruised shoulder, cut index finger (floorplate release smacking my finger when fired), and bloody nuckle (bolt hitting my hand). Bottom line, I didn't know how to shoot it. Well thousands of rounds later, no problem. I learned the hard way, by trial and error and frustation, but practice your breathing, practice and muscle memory will come from that, and roll with the recoil. Hold the gun tight but not too tight against your shoulder, practice holdign the stock so your index finger is like an independent part of you shooting technique. Alto of people squeeze their whole hand, but thats bad.
