I'm 5'10" and weigh202 lbs. I lift weights, I run, I can hang with any of the hard core chix in the aerobics classes, and I'm a practicing black belt in Tae Kwon Do. I'd like to think I'm decently muscled, reasonably fit, and more flexible than most.

OBTWI wish that the term Magnum was never created. It always causes a stir. Magnum is nothing more than a marketing ploy. some people won't buy anything that doesn't say Magnum, and other won't buy anything that does say magnum. Blah, blah, blah! The 300 WSM is a reasonable choice given the parameters that the customer set.

RE: Caliber Selection
Not even every adult needs a Magnum rifle. For all NA game at least in the lower 48 states the 270, 280 and 30-06 have been doing it for nearly a century. Throw in the 308 and 7x57, 7mm-08 and 6.5x55 as well. Any of those have plenty of bullet weight for penetration and all shoot flat enough. WHERE YOU PUT THE BULLET IS UPTEEN TIMES MORE IMPORTANT THAN WHAT YOU PUT IT THERE WITH. !!!!!

RE: Caliber Selection
.308 is good, but yeah, a 30-06 is better,
I would think that the .270 wouldn't be as good of a deer cartridge than the .308, because people don't normally make the practice of shooting deer at 400 yards.
The 30-06 trajectory is quite similar to the .308's.
At 400 yards, the .308 drops 54 inches, and at 400 yards, the 30-06 drops 50 inches.
I read that on a Chuck Hawk's article.

Where are my hip boots when I need them?
Doe Dumper, the 30-06 does everything GREAT and a few things good.However you are right, it endangers the logic of a full gun safe.
