ive shot my 270win alot thousands of rounds in the last ten years. its recoil ive never liked. just recently within the last few years i fired a 7mm recoil was very similar to my 270win.
id also so that the hunters that shoot bigame past 400yds are speaclized bunch that shoot alot of bigger calibers than the 7mm and even some smaller but these arent your average ordinary hunters.
yes we all here may be able to take deer cleanly and comfortably but ill put my effective kill range at 300 and less. one because i havent been useing a range finder and at most times the deer wont let me pace to the them then back to take the shot. so if i can gustemate farily comfortably the deer is 300 or less then were good to if i think its farther i pass up the shot.
on the other hand ive guessed deer at farther than 300 but later found out the distance was actualy only about half that. sometimes its hard to judge distance while looking through the pine trees into other pines trees across a gully.
if these guys can handle the recoil and shoot the rifles well most any caliber will work for theyre intended purpose.
