RE: .308 vs. 300 WSM for Girlfriend?
I think if she can handle a .308 she should be able to handle a .300 wsm. I have a .300 wsm savage model 16 and it kicks pretty hard but ive shot my freinds .308 and its not that far behindrecoilwise but his .308 is kind of a freak it kicks really hard for a .308 for some reason.Also the difference between a .300 wsm and a regular 300 mag isnt very big i read its about 9 percent less felt recoil. I think if you got her the .300 wsm and just got her a nice recoil pad she would be fine and its definately worth it because the .300 wsm is a lot better cartridge than the .308 in my opinion
