Default RE: caliber advice for big game

If you don't like recoil then don't shoot a .300WM (I assume that is short for Weatherby Magnum). That is a hog of a round but my goodness is shoots sweet. Luckily recoil doesn't bother me at all. However, you could try the Limbsavers buttpads. They claim to reduce recoil by 50%, but who knows. I don't think there is a rifle out there for moose and elk that won't kick pretty hard. If you want a hard hitting round, then you are going to have to put up with the recoil. That is the nature of the beast.
