I felt slightly less recoil with my 300 wsm. With 300 real mag, my shoulder used to feel beat up with 12 shots, now it takes 13. Big deal. I still flinch unless I usemind control.

I wouldn't buy one again. I am wondering why I thought I had to "upgrade" from .270 when I first got the 300 real mag. After shooting my 300 wsm, I borrow my son's .270. It feels good and I group smaller.

Not a statement about the caliber itself, just a statement about how well thisshooter handles it.
