I know recoil is a perception. I can say I understand the difference between a .308 and an 30-06. I can easily deal with .308 recoil using 150's and after a while the 180's in an 30-06 start causing some flinching. So, if I were to go to a 6.5 x 06 and make the barrel a med palma contour at 24-26 inches, how is the recoil? I am going back and forth between the .260 and 6.5 x 06, I think the 6.5 x 06 has an edge for hunting, especially on elk - I know the .260 is fine for mulies and white tails/antelope, but I am a little concerned vs elk. I am thinking 140s are the way to go for hunting.
I have long action and I am about 2 days off from dropping it off. Any help would be appreciated. thanks.
