holy **** im dumb. i just realizedthat albertianhuntress is a chica. lol dont take this in a bad way cuz im not shovenistic( i cant spell either) but i guess ide shy away from the .350 and the whelen. im sure you could easily handle them both but they are on the stout end of the recoil spectrum. like, in my gun vise they stillrock thebench backwards. my little sister uses a 6.5x55 sweed. excellent caliber. it fires a 140 gr. bullet at a modest2500/2600 fps but its an oddly long bullet design that really helps penetration. she dropped a 932lb bull moose in its tracks w/ one shot. plenty of wallop for almost anything in north america accept maybe the real big bears which i know it would handle but i wouldnt want to lay my life on it. you should look it up and read about it. pretty mild recoil as well. its basically a 260 rem.

RE: Whats your Preference?
Thank you all very much for your input!!!
I'll let you know what I end up going with!
Also on a side note... I'll take as much recoil as a gun will give aslong as it's a nice one lol

RE: Whats your Preference?
If you start with to much recoil you could develop a flinch which will be harder than hell to get rid of. I wouldn't go to strong off the bat. And not only because your a girl, alot of men try to be macho and shoot a gun thats way to powerful for them to start out and they end up with the same problem.
