Saw this on another site today..reminded me of this post..

"For some reason, humans develop strong emotional relationships with, and impressions of, cartridges. They may rate the Creedmoors as nothing but cartridges for millennial snowflakes, but may trust the .308 Winchester and .300 Winchester Magnum with their life, because, well, it’s an Army thing. External ballistics is a science, not a feeling. Pick the cartridge that best suits your needs, that you can afford to shoot a lot, and that will generate a tolerable level of recoil in your rifle."

Have a great day

Yeah - I hear you. When I was a kid, I really liked the .458, both standard 2 1/2" and the 2". I mean, "loved it" - the Hammer of Thor.
15,000 rounds, then torn cartilage fore and aft in my right shoulder. Got those healed up as well as possible.
Sold, the .458's, bought my second .375/06IMP bl. worked up loads - haven't even shot anything with it as I haven't hunted moose for 6 years since my hunting buddy died.
Now, I have an '06 and realized that it's really all I needed, all these years.
I also have a couple 6.5's to lean on, if THAT time comes to pass.
