Get a good Holland brake. It will reduce the recoil a ton. It will be a pleasure to shoot. I shoot a 300 WSM now but I shot the 300 RUM for years. I changed over to the 300 WSM because with the shorter action and shorter barrel, the rifle was much easier to hunt with. I didn't give up a ton but my 300 WSM will never live up to the ballistics of the 300 RUM. It's just easier to carry and MUCH easier to get on target with. Good luck!!
