RE: Short magnums
What kind of performance are you looking for, i.e. what do you want to do with it? For deer and other medium game I like the 270. For Elk I like the 300 WSM, although I' m not very recoil sensitive and don' t believe that you can be " overgunned" . I chose the 300 because it fit well in my hunting needs, one of the others might be better for you.
