James, sorry did not know you were missing an eye. I know what
you mean about the shoulders. I have .338mag, .358mag. 7mm Mag,
35Rem, and you name it. The last 8yrs I have gone to 6.5mmSwede
because of the right shoulder. I have also used .243 for deer, but have
to be real sure of the shot or let it walk. I use the 6.5mm from coyotes
to moose.
